Your Doctor cannot refuse you a referral if you need to see an Endo.
Get another Doctor....sounds like the one you have isnt doing you much good , only making you worry needlessly.
Or call your Doctor and demand to know whats going on.
It is unfair and morally wrong that your Doc isnt giving you as much information as he should.

If you get a positive result, i.e., cancer,  you will have your thyroid removed.  That pretty much takes care of the problem.  Depending on the type of cancer then a bit of radioactive iodine may be necessary.  Thyroid cancer is 95% curable, especially when caught early.  FNA biopsy does not always come back conclusive, I hope yours does.  Mine did not, I still have cancer.  My biopsy revealed benign follicular clusters, but that does not mean BENIGN nodules...follicular tumors look just like follicular cells, so in my case they could not be sure until they took out the nodules.  If it is not diagnostic, you can watch and wait, looking for changes in your ultrasound.
