Growing thyroid nodule

by slappy75, Feb 12, 2009 12:29PM
I recently had another thyroid ultasound and a nodule that was measured at 3cm 3 years ago is now measuring 5 by 5 by 2 cm.  All thyroid labs are normal, and it was FNAd 3 years ago and determined to be benign.  It has been recommended to me to have it surgically removed.  I was told thyroid hormone therapy would probably do nothing to shrink a nodule of this size.  Do you agree surgery is the best alternative at this point?  I just don't want to have unnecessary surgery.
