I have been recommended to have a TT due to the fna biopsy results of my biopsy. Although' I was told that the results were benign, surgery is suggested to rule out cancer because of the "Favor Follicular Neoplasm" on the right side and "Hurthle Neoplasm" on the left. I was told that it will more than likely be benign but the surgery is the only way to find out. My question is: isn't there any other options beside surgery to try and shrink the goiter prior to agreeing to surgery? I am still seeking other opinions before i make a decision but would like to know what my other options are?? Thanks for your advise in advance.
