I've had a "nodule" on my thyroid since 1999, I think. Apparently, it's very common in women and not usually a problem. Just to be sure, I've had ultrasounds, biopsies, and once, some kind of radioactive test to make sure my thyroid was working correctly.

I saw an endocrinologist for a while, but it never changed and my current doctor after we moved didn't really see a need for it. Now, I just have to have my doctors keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't grow, and have my thyroid levels checked each year.

I'm sending good thoughts that it's much the same for you!
