Thyroid nodule

Hi, 

 

ive been having tests on my nodule for nearly a year now. 
The first biopsy came back inconclusive (they didn't get enough cell) 

So then I had a nuc med scan to rule out if it was cancer or not .... 

the results came back neither cancer or no cancer so I was advised to get another biopsy . 
I had the biopsy and apparently again it come back inbetween cancer and no cancer so I need surgery to have half nodule removed . 
I keep going over it in my head and think ... is that the only option ???!  Like can't they do it again , is the only option to have surgery ?! 
it feels so extreme and because the doctor was very blunt and un-informative I feel like I've been left in the dark ... no information on wether it's grown etc . Like he's just jumped straight to the surgery option . 
 

Anybody experienced anything similar or have shy more information on this to educate me more ?! 
 

thanks 

  • Hello Miss Uk,

    I can understand the uncertainty of these results would make you second guess things, but it's important to try and put your worries out of your mind as this only makes you feel worse. You discuss your concerns with your doctor as soon as you can and see whether there are any alternatives.

    Best wishes to you,
