FineNeedle aspiratio: 4-7 % thyroid nodules can be cancerous. What was your TSH levels. Was a fine needle aspiration (FNA) ever performed on this nodule? If TSH IS NORMAL get FNA! If TSH lower than normal get Nuclear Thyroid Scan. If scan shows non functioning nodule...then get FNA. If FUNCTIONING NODULE check FT4 and T3 (liothyronine) levels. Good luck.

Nodules : Thyroid nodules can be serious although they don't have to be. If their a lot of small nodules then it is usually less serious but if there is a large nodule then usually it should be biopsied to make sure that it is not cancer.
