thyroid surgery

Hi all just looking for some advice really so I found a lump in my neck which after speaking to 3 GPs I was referred to ENT clinic on a 2 week referral. The consultant checked me over did the throat camera and decided to send me for a ultrasound and biopsy which I went for a week or so later. It took a little over 3 weeks for my results to come back and I got a phone call to discuss as the lady said she didn't wanna delay anything going forward. My ultrasound showed a multinodular thyroid with a non tender firm node it was shown as a u3, my biopsy was thy4 so I know I need surgery. I guess what I'm asking is  has anyone else has these results from a biopsy but been given good news in the end.
