Is A Lump On The Thyroid Gland Malignant?
My daughter is 33. Herdoctor is doing a needle biopsy on a 2.5cm nodule just to the left of her thyroid. I suspect cancer. All her lab reaults are normal for her thyroid. What would cause a lump this size? And if all normal thyroid functions, what would the outcome be for a healthy mom of 5 kids?

Hello,
We have to wait for the biopsy to check whether the nodule is cancerous or not. Even if it is malignant (cancerous) the prognosis will be good.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
