Thank you for sharing the link, there was so much good information there. I appreciate you taking time to share more about your journey, too. Ooof, that biposy experience does sound miserable. I feel like mine are pretty large (like my pcp could tell just by looking at my neck that something was going on), so fingers crossed I am a good candidate for the biopsy and that I get answers too.

thanks again!

For another side to this issue, I have had small nodules since 1988. They are kept small by my taking Synthroid, because I was hypothyroid. My biopsy was so simple I hardly remember, it was done in the doc office and absolutely not painful. My thyroid blood levels are checked regularly and have always been fine. Have ultrasounds every few years. Nodules shrunk and remain insignificant.
Most nodules are benign.
