Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
The diagnosis of follicular carcinoma in FNAC is very gray area in diagnosis whether it is cancer or benign.
It can only be decided by histopathological examination after surgery.
Whether it is cancerous or not also depends upon age,sex,symptoms etc.
So you should first go for surgery.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
