Follow: You don't need a biopsy right now but you should have another ultrasound in about one year to make sure it's not growing. Biopsy it in the future if it grows.

Doctor said I should get a biopsy on my 6.5mm thyroid nodule. It's hypoechoic and nothing else suspicious on ultrasound. He said it's for "peace of mind". Is this normal practice for a small nodule?
