Hi, I have a thyroid nodule on my isthmus that was graded as U3 initially on a first ultrasound but has now been graded as a U4. I have had two FNA biopsies that have come back normal but my consultant said that because the needle is fine, it could miss the cancer cells. He is not happy with the nodule and says it looks abnormal. There is vascularity, calcification and some other features. The nodule is measuring 2.4cm. He recommended surgery and said I could wait but if it is cancer, it could spread to other areas. I have agreed to surgery and have been referred for a hemithyroidectomy. It will be a day case operation. I'm scared of being put to sleep, the operation and scar, what the biopsy will show...

Is anyone else going through this or has been through this?
