I'm really worried because I've got a nodule in the left lobe of my thyroid that's about 4x4 cm, and my T3, T4, and TSH levels are normal. There's also a smaller 1x1 cm nodule in the right lobe. The FNAC results advised a papillary cluster with chewing gum colloid and no nuclear groves. They mentioned excision biopsy to rule out papillary carcinoma. I'm trying to understand if this could be cancer or if it's benign. I'm really concerned about whether surgery is my only option or if there are other treatments available. Could you please guide me on what I should do?

only surgery is the option. it is a benign cancer

I've just got my LFT test results, and I'm kind of worried because my GGT levels have shot up to 575. Plus, my triglycerides are at 281, and blood sugar levels from fasting are 168. I've been on Glycomet 500 MG Tablet SR twice a day, yet my foot has felt numb and tingly for the past year. I had sarcoidosis back in 2020, and my doctor had me on TB medication for 9 months. I quit smoking two years ago and don't drink at all. Other LFT parameters are fine. Could you help me understand why my GGT and triglycerides are high?
