I'm concerned about my recent TFT test results at work. My TSH levels came back high, and I'm not sure what that means. Is it something I should be worried about? Are there steps I should take to get it back to a normal range? My T3 and T4 levels are fine, but does this mean I have a thyroid issue? I'd appreciate any advice you could give.

I have a 4x4 cm nodule in the left lobe of my thyroid and a smaller 1x1 cm nodule in the right lobe. My T3, T4, and TSH levels are normal, but the FNAC showed papillary clusters with chewing gum colloid and no nuclear grooves. The report suggests an excision biopsy to rule out papillary carcinoma. Could this be cancer or is it likely benign? Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments I should consider?

Once the biopsy report is confirmed whether it is beningn or malignant ,diagnosis can be arrived.If cancerous thyroidectomy or hemithyroidectomy is advised based on the size and location of thevtumour in the thyroid.A sugeon opinion is advised.
