Subject: thyroid nodule

Question
My husband was diagnosed with a susp. complex irreg. nodule with thickened walls. It meas. 1.5cm  He did not have this last yr when he had an US but now he does.  Does this seem to be fast growing and are these the characteristics of cancer.

Answer
new nodule cannot be predicted how much fast it grows, maybe it grows that much in only 1 month!
so don't think about how much chance to be a malignancy, he need a biopsy, or follow this nodule if it grows much rapid(after recent period).
just keep watching, don't worry , good to find this so early.
