If you have multiple nodules, do most doctors biopsy all of them. I found a nodule in my neck months ago and then had an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed I had 5 nodules instead of just one. The doctor did a biopsy on the biggest nodule and the results came back no cancer. I was then sent to a surgeon who recommended a thyroidectomy so I would't have to have biopsys every 3 months. I had the surgery 1 week ago today and the doctor was really surprised. The 2 smallest nodules that weren't biopsied had cancer in them. What would have happened if they didn't take the entire thyroid out? I recommend that everyone get every nodule biopsied.
