Inconclusive FNA x 2 - what's next

Hi everyone

New to this chat - just wondered if anyone has had a similar experience. A cardiac MRI last year highlighted an urelated thyroid nodule that required further investigation. Various scans and 5 needles later and still not enough cells removed due to the highly vascular nature of the nodule, in fact, last session resulted in a hematoma so the Dr has said no more FNAs to be carried out. Anyone else had this happen? I'd be interested to know what your next steps have been and whether you went ahead with surgical removal or whether you were offered monitoring... thanks in advance.
