Thyroid nodule, blood and biopsy fine.what the next step.

Likely observe,,: If all this is ok, likely the next step is observation. It can be surgically removed, but if it's all right for now it may not be a good idea to do surgery. If it gets larger, or causes symptoms like hoarseness and difficulty swallowing, then surgery would be indicated, as well as if it stays around a long time without going away. It's always good to see your dr. To follow up. Best of luck.

Good: Now relax, and go for your doctors regular scheduled follow up appointments.

Nothing for now: Benign nodules in thyroid are common. Unless you perceive enlargement, a routine annual physical exam should suffice.
