The next thing to happen (in the UK) is usually to have a FNA (fine needle aspiration) to check the contents of the nodules. This is done to make sure you haven't got cancer. I don't say this to frighten you, and if some cancer is found they will remove your thyroid and give you hormone replacement (Thyroxine) for the rest of your life. Which country are you in? In the UK the result of the FNA is given as a number (1 to 5) where 1 is 'no cancer', and 5 is the opposite.
I have very recently had ultra sound, neck x-rays and also MRI scan - I have had no needle aspiration - so different hospitals perhaps do different tests.
