The main thing you focus on is the impression.  According to your report, it is normal.  You just have a lot of cyst (nodules).The thyroid has a butterfly shape with a left and right lobe.  You just mainly want to keep a check on these.  They are usually benign but can be cancerous.  Sometimes people just have them removed or biopsied.
