It depends- if you have a healthy thyroid gland, then it just reveals healthy thyroid tissue. It can also tell if your thyroid gland is over-active or under-active, producing too much or too little thyroxin which is a condition correctable by medication. In the unlucky event of you having thyroid cancer, it will reveal the presence of malignant cells, although it should be added that if caught early enough, this is normally completely treatable. Even if the gland has to be removed, the patient can continue to live normally with regular injections of thyroxin (rather like diabetics with insulin injections).
