thyroid nodules

I have a nodule 2-3cm. I am nervous about the two options I have:1) biopsy 2) thyroidectemy.  My doctor says eventually it needs to be removed because it will continue to grow.   I was thinking if it needs to go  just go ahead and get it over with and skip biopsy because im scared of a needle going in my neck.  I am only 32 and very concerned about being on meds the rest of my life. I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

What does the ultrasound say about it?
Is it solid or cystic?
