Looking for Info on what a thyroid biopsy is like

Hi Linda,

I had a similar experience as @hopeful23 for the biopsy. Fully awake, numbing agent applied, ultrasound-guided biopsy, no pain, just felt some mild pressure. I had a lobectomy for a 2cm cancerous nodule later (Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma) and am feeling fine almost 6 weeks later.

As @koh has suggested above, definitely consider RFA (radio frequency ablation) and ask your doctors about it. You can avoid surgery if you are a good candidate for RFA. Please feel free to ask me any questions. I had done a lot of research on RFA and had talked to multiple doctors in and outside the US about it.

Good luck!

I will defiantly check out the RFA if I need surgery I still have not been notified as to when I will have the biopsy. When I read the report I have several nodules but each one says low risk except one that says low to moderate. thank you for your reply.
