1 inch mass and 2 nodules on thyroid

I was diagnosed with Hoshimoto's Thyroiditis in 1984.  A 1 inch mass and 2 nodules were discovered recently and I had a biopsy that indicated that the mass and nodules were not cancerous.  I have had difficulty swallowing, have a hoarse voice and sometimes breathing seems difficult.  I feel that he mass should be removed, but my doctor prefers to wait.  I also had breast cancer 14 years ago and am worried about the mass in my thyroid.  What do you recommend?

I am not an expert by any means but you may want to get a second opinion.  You really need to make sure that you feel comfortable with what is going on. Good LUck
