Multinodular Thyroid

[betty59]

Two weeks ago, I had a thyroid ultrasound done. Results: multinodular-multiple cysts; 5 nodules measure less than 1cm wide; the other one measures 2cm wide. The radiologist did not report that there was a vascular growth, or anything suspicious.
My thyroid test was normal. The endocrinologist ordered a biopsy, which I did not want to have done.
I asked this doctor if I had a tumor, she said that the radiologist did not report that the ultrasound showed a vascular growth.
I am against biopsies because I would not like to have more than one done; would a scan image help to detect if there are any suspicious growths?

Thank you for your note; I am so scared to have a biopsy, I walked thru a fine line last September when I found a lump in my left breast, went to my ob-gyn that I've had for 12-years, the ultrasound & another image showed no malignant formation...now this one, I just went for a check-up, blood tests all of them were normal including the thyroid...I feel like playing in the casino, will I win or lose?
The medical system puts emphasis on ovarian or breast cancer and they're leaving out thyroid examinations...

get the biopsy so cancer can be ruled out . scans really cant tell you if they are cacerous.
