I had multiple fine needle biopsies done on my neck. I didn't find it much different then giving blood except in you neck.
They may run more tests in the future, radioactive iodine, to see if lump is producing thyroid hormone. I think I even went for an MRI.
I think they will need to rule out thyroid cancer. If it turns out to be cancer or unknown they may wish to surgically remove it. This is a low percentage case.
