Has anyone ever had this done? I have to have a fine needle aspiration on a large solitary thyroid nodule. The endocrinologist did an ultrasound first and it will be ultrasound-guided. It's on the "ooky" side for me - having a needle go into my throat - so I'd appreciate your comments. My understanding is that there's minimal risk for singers (or anyone else for that matter) from the biopsy itself. It's only the actual surgery, in the unlikely event that the nodule needs to be removed, that can cause or worsen vocal problems. It's scheduled for 7/16. Please wish me luck.
