Diagnosed As Thy3f Thyroid. Advised For Partial Thyroidectomy. Have Had Nodule Removed. What Should I Do?

Hi, I have a thyroid nodule that has been diagnosed as thy3f by a FNA. I have been advised to have a partial thyroidectomy . I previously had a nodule removed in 2007 which was benign. Do you think this one is likely to be benign as well as I don t really want to have surgery again and was thinking about not having the surgery this time. What do you think? Thanks Michelle
