Your thyroid function is fine. TSH and T4 vary a lot between tests. Total or subtotal thyroidectomy is done for hyperthyroidism (increased thyroid function) not hypothyroidism (low function). Did you make a typo " exhibiting many symptoms of HYPOthyroidism". You stated the nodule is benign so I assume you already underwent biopsy of that nodule.

Removal will cause permanent hypothyroidism and your life will depend on being able to get it. Discuss with local team.
