Hi doctor, I had a swelling developed on my neck overnight 10 days ago. I went to a doctor who did an ultrasound and took thyroid function blood tests. He said it as a 3 x 3 cm cyst with 1 x 1 cm tumor or nodule with some calcification. He took some of the cyst liquid and sent away for tests, but it will take 10 days to receive the result. He wants to wait for the results before deciding the next step. I do not have any other symptoms. All the similar ultrasound pictures online seem to be malignant. Should I wait for the result? Or can request a biopsy of the nodule? Currently I am on vacation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
