I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule and after ultrasound and FNA it has been graded U3, thy3a. I have been offered 2 options. One to just remove and the time frame is about 2 months. The other to watch and wait and rescan and FNA just over 3 months. If I choose to do that I assume I would be placed on a waiting list after results so a longer process but with the opportunity to retest! I have been told its 30% chance it will be malignant.

 I Was also due to traveling with my son. This was supposed to be a trip of a life time. The consultant said he thinks i should take the wait and watch and rescan after my holiday. So in 4 months. This adds time to the process which he says hes not worried about. However, i am. I want to take his advice but my vonfidence is on the floor. Thos way I may also have more concrete results. But if they are positive I will have delayed the process.
