You should definitely make a phone call yourself. You must be your own health advocate!! The sooner you get it done, the sooner you know what you need to do.
Best of luck.
I agree. Go ahead and call and let them know how worried you are.
I'm not really sure why your family doctor said the FNA should be done within 2 weeks?
You definately should phone and enquire about when they want it done.
The facts are that 95% of thyroid nodules are benign - not cancerous! The statistics are on your side so don't worry too much!!!
The fact that you currently have normal function is fantastic!!! **IF** surgery is recomended this fact will mean a smoother ride for you.
Surgery is usually only recommended if;
- malignancy is found or highly suspected
- the enlargement is causing compression symptoms
- for cosmetic reasons as the goitre becomes more visible.
