I agree with the others….get a second opinion! Why remove an organ with the chance it’s a false positive? As far as fitting into the doctors time schedule? Don’t do it. Thyroid cancer is usually considered a very slow growing cancer so you have to time to get second opinions (from a doctor you choose so they are not just rubber stamping the findings for a friend. I would wonder why the doctor wants you to have the surgery so fast…..seems like he is rushing you along so you don’t have time to consider options. Good luck!
