Thyroid: It sounds as if it is simple cysts but i would depend on my doctor to decide if a thyroidectomy is indicated.

No: I don't think you need to have a thyroidectomy. Those nodules are very small . Keep watching them.

Consider: The nodule appears to have grown significantly over the years which is concerning. I would recommend repeat fna biopsy and d/w your doctor if you should have thyroidectomy at this time because although fna was negative things may have changed over the years.

Thyroidologist: Has the new nodule been biopsied? Your cacitonin level sounds indeterminate. It appears you're in good hands and i think such an important decision regarding prophylactic thyroidectomy is best made by both you and your thyroidologist. Usually the presence of more than 1 nodule suggests benign nodules, but nodules are watched more closely in men.
