I have had some results back, finally, from my second biopsy & the large (solid) nodule is benign, thankfully! BUT its still growing & so are the other nodules...they are becoming more visible as my neck is looking lumpy now & I can feel the large lump when I swallow & is uncomfortable.
Im absolutely petrified if I have to have surgery & I dont want to lose my thyroid as Ive read so much about how you never fully recover afterwards.
Is there anything I can do to help heal my thyroid? (Im gluten/soy free already).

Have you been told you need a complete thyroidectomy? It is possible to remove the thyroid lobe with the large nodule which is causing discomfort. The remaining lobe is expected to produce the hormone you require.
Levothyroxine will sometimes shrink nodules a little but if your thyroid levels are normal you won't be prescribed Levothyroxine because it would make you over medicated.
