[quote=Anonymous]Yes. I've been monitoring several much larger nodules for eight years now. I am supposed to get annual fine needle aspirations (with sonograms). Results are always negative but inconclusive since they can't 100 percent rule out cancer. I don't like living with this stress, so I'm going to get the thyroid removed this year. I would not worry about a pea-sized nodule. I think the sonogram will tell you if it is "hot" or "cold" and you can go from there. Also, I think about twenty percent of women have nodules. Thyroid cancer in middle-aged women is very rare, and it's one of the slowest-growing cancers anyhow. Feel free to post more questions if you like. [/quote]
