Does my thyroid nodule have the characteristics of cancer ?

These are theultrasound findings of my thyroid nodules.One which contain mixed echogenicities measuring .79 x.63 x.80 cm in posterior - mid aspect of the right lobe and another solid nodule with a more hypoechoic appearance in the inferior lobe measuring .64 x .47 x .55 cm. Both nodules appear to have a small amount of blood flow within them and increased blood flow around them. So do these nodules have the characteristics of cancer.

Your nodules are small and it's difficult to tell from the description given.  Is this the entire report?

Is there an impression or recommendation for follow up on the report? If so, what does it say?

Many of us have nodules on our thyroid and less than 5% of all thyroid nodules are cancer.
