Hi, I am Priya, 19 years old. I have a nodule on right lobe of thyroid gland.  My endcrinologist has advised hemithyroidectomy to rule out cancer as the thyroid scan showed a cold nodule and USG guided FNAC is suspicious of follicular neoplasia.  My harmone levels are normal. I have not other complication.  Should I go for surgery or wait for some more months to see whether the nodule is increasing in size or some other problem arises due to this.  How much time I can avoid surgery.  Please advise

    All the best whatever you decide. Keep us posted.
