Hi,

 I am in a similar position during the last six years.

Same feeling, pressure on my left side or sometimes all over my neck, like I can't swallow. Sometimes worse, sometimes less.

 I have a nodule on left side around 10 mm x 5 mm , level 4. They told me to keep to one radiologist to check to avoid different measurements and opinions.

So, my dr said: don't do anything, biopsy is not always accurate and can have wrong direction, if the nodule doesn't grow quickly or at all  during years and keeps same, don't touch and no needles.

And I feel I can trust him.

Hi, thank you for your response. I am sorry you are dealing with those symptoms. They can be maddening. My anxiety is through the roof and so I wonder how much is due to my anxiety and how much is due to my physical health. I think the management of your nodule at this point is right considering how small size it is. I have also read they cant get a good sample of the small ones anyway. Monitoring for growth is reasonable and I hope yours doesn't ever grow. As far as your symptoms of pressure and swallowing, it seems your nodule is so small I wonder if it would even cause that? Have you had any other tests or scans done to see if it may be anything else causing it? I am thinking about asking for other tests for me too. Take care, Sabrina
