Would discuss this with ENT to see if the hoarseness or other "feelings in throat" are likely due to the nodule.
Would not recommend surgery for ultrasound appearance alone, rather repeat the FNA as the false-negative rate (national average) of one FNA is about 7% (meaning that 7 of 100 benign readings are wrong). Two benign FNAs improves the sensitivity of the test.
There is also the "worry factor" -- ie, if this is keeping you up at night, then a definite answer with lobectomy may be warranted.
how do we add questions to this forum? Is this forum no longer available?

I ended up having a left lobectomy after consulting with surgeon. Pathology benign after surgery. Thyroid blood work normal at this point. Thanks so much for your advice.
