I'm really worried because I've got a nodule in the left lobe of my thyroid that's about 4x4 cm, and my T3, T4, and TSH levels are normal. There's also a smaller 1x1 cm nodule in the right lobe. The FNAC results advised a papillary cluster with chewing gum colloid and no nuclear groves. They mentioned excision biopsy to rule out papillary carcinoma. I'm trying to understand if this could be cancer or if it's benign. I'm really concerned about whether surgery is my only option or if there are other treatments available. Could you please guide me on what I should do?
only surgery is the option. it is a benign cancer
