A nodule is a nodule no matter where it is located on the thyroid.  The more important issues is; what type of nodule, how many, how large and growth progress rate.

Others with personal experience might have more info for you.  Good luck with the biopsy.  Keep in mind that only a small percentage is cancerous.

Wishing you well with your biopsy - are you having a needle biopsy?  I just had mine yesterday and the waiting for results seems to be the hardest thing.  That and the swelling.
