I Had A Thyroid Ultrasound That Showed A 34 X

I had a thyroid ultrasound that showed a 34 x 22 x 21 mm solid, homogenious nodule with a tiny cystic area. Central and peripheral vascularity is present.
I then had a biopsy with Affirma testing.
Biopsy came back indeterminate with atypia.

Affirma test came back at 40% suspicious.
I'm trying to figure out if I should 1) wait and redo a biopsy, possibly with Assurant test 2) have the surgery to remove my thyroid 3) something else?

Please help. Thanks!
