Does 1.3cm Thyroid Nodule Indicate Cancer?

I recently had an MRI of my neck due to an arm/shoulder injury. The MRI had an unintended consequence when it was found that I had a 1.3 cm thyroid nodule. I am being scheduled for an ultrasound and possible FNA. Should I be worried about the size of the nodule indicating cancer?

Not all thyroid nodules are malignant (cancer). Your doctors are investigating it the right way with an ultrasound guided FNAC as the cytological exam will give the diagnosis.
Wishing you good health.
