Hello and thank you for asking.
I have gone carefully through your concern.
I would suggest also total thyroidectomy, even if the nodule is not malignant, there is a great probability for the other lobe to develop nodule in the future, so you will need a second surgery than.
That is why we recommend total thyroidectomy if malignancy is not suspected.
Hope i have been helpful.
Kind regards,
Dr,Mirjeta
