Reply to "Thyroid Nodule - Cancer?"

I just had this experience last week. My thyroid blood tests came back normal but I had a large lump on my thyroid in my neck. They did an ultrasound and needle aspiration even though the doctor felt it was benign as it was very uncomfortable for me. They drained blood and he said it was a cyst. They did send out the biopsy and I am still waiting on the results, but he felt very confident it was a beniign nodule and yes many people have them and are unaware they have them.  He was not going to biospy, but since I was uncomfortable, he drained the cyst and decided to just send the biopsy as protocol.  

I have to be followed by an endocrinologist every three months as the doctor said there is a 30% chance these cysts fill back up. 

In my case, I wanted the biopsy, I was also experiencing ringing in my right ear which is the side of the neck the lump was on. If it will make your daughter feel better to have the biospy, I would request it.  Those odds would make me uncomfortable to watch and wait. Did they do a  full thyroid antibiody test on her also to check for hershimoto's disease which is commmom with UC patients, but not sure about FAP patients.  Good luck.
