I would consider an ENT or GI evaluation for the swallowing before concluding that it is from this nodule.  The biopsy being benign is good news and typically repeat ultrasound in 6 months is recommended.  A common cause of trouble swallowing would be acid reflux.  This can occur even in the absence of heartburn symptoms.

UPDATE-
my pituitary MRI came back normal & my second prolactin level was 53.4 Biopsy report says negative for malignant cells - benign follicular nodule
Please advise me as I am still worried and have such a problem swallowing. Thank you again
