Thyroid nodules: That is a fairly large nodule and if you are in good health, it should most likely be removed. If the biopsy is positive for cancer the whole gland should be removed if the FNA is benign the side with the nodule should be removed.

Thyroid nodules: I do not know what an FNA is. Do not use abbreviations. Trust you are being seen by an endocrinologist. Go to uptodate.com and read more. Then discuss with your team.

FNA is fine needle aspiration. That is a standard abbreviation.
