I'm just checking......

I have recently gone through a series of Thyroid tests and am working on understanding the results.  
TSH -suppressed. T4 normal.  
ULTRASOUND:
right lobe 4.8 x 2.1 x 2.0 cm.  multiple cystic and heterogeneous nodules noted throughout. largest 2.4 cm appears to be two calcifications within this.

left lobe 5.5 x 2.4 x 2.6 cm. multiple cystic heterogenoeous nodules noted through out. largest 3.1 cm
several small nodules have at least 1 single focus of calcification.

THYROID UPTAKE SCAN:
6  hour uptake was 20.3%.  24 hour uptake was 30.3%.  lower pole region of left lobe is hyperactive compared to remainder of the gland.

When I called the Endo's office for results I was told to make an appointment for 6 months from now for a follow up.  I asked to have the doctor call me so I had a clearer understanding of what all this ment, but I haven't heard anything back.

Thanks so much.

I picked up the uptake and ultrasound from the imaging center.  I don't have a copy of the blood work report..... only the info above that I was told when I called the doctor's office.

What are the actual results of the TSH and T4, along with the lab's reference ranges?  Also was that a FREE T4 or TOTAL?  If it's free, it should say on the lab report, if it's not free, it's pretty much useless.
