How To Treat Hyperthyroidism?

I have just been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. My tsh is extremely low t4, t3 only slightly elevated. I do have a small nodule that is going to have biopsy because of some internal vascularity. I am worried about this -but my family physician feels benign outcome is likely. I feel great - but very stunned to find I have this condition. Worried about treatments, etc.... What are your thoughts and should be overly concerned?
