What Does This Ultrasound Report Of Thyroid Indicate?
Question: I am 34 years old and recently have been having major issues with a constant dry cough, weight gain and fatigue. I recently had a ultrasound done of my thyroid and these are the results.
There is a solid and cystic lesion measuring 0.8x0.7x1.0cm at the superior pole of the right thyroid lobe with eccentric color flow in the solid component.
There is a heterogenrously hypoechoic nodule at the inferior pole of the left thyroid lobe measuring 1.2x0.9x0.9am with possible tiny cystic spaces.
There is color flow projecting over the bilateral thyroid parenchyma
I am a single mother of 2 little boys and am scared to death! Could this be cancer? I was referred to an endocrinologist who has now Sent me on to and ENT for surgery. Should I have a biopsy or have it removed!

Hope this answers your query.
