A member asked:
If a thyroid nodule is shrinking, should surgery be an option? thyroid biopsy was suspicious

Suspicious: Thyroid disease is nothing to fool with. Certain blood tests may have to be done. Even a reducing size may still be worrysome. If confused get a second opinion regarding your thyroid pathology slides.

Options: Are you having compressive symptoms now? Do you feel the nodule/s when you swallow? How big are the nodules? I agree with the recommendation to have another pathologist look at the "suspicious" slides. In any case, you will need to follow the size of the nodules serially to track changes.
