Work up: Need more information. You should have had thyroid function tests (a blood test), and an ultrasound of the thyroid with FNA (fine needle aspiration). The results of these tests will dictate the appropriate treatment, which could be simple observation to surgery to remove the thyroid gland with further drug treatment/radiation.
