I am not an expert in this area .. WELCOME to the Community!  Hoping others will join in but I want to say mine were hypoechoic and turned out to be totally benign .. 1.7cm ea or so ........ The Dr will most likely schedule an FNA (biopsy) to get better idea of what type of nodule it is but 90% are usually ok.
