The decision to wait and watch or have surgery is your to make. I can only suggest you fully understand the options before making a decision.
The endocrinologist is an expert in this area of medicine and better able to tell you the chances of this goiter shrinking.
According to Geraldo Medeiros-Neto, M.D.. of the Thyroid Research Laboratory at University of São Paulo Medical School in Brazil, " ...there is only minimal risk from carcinoma in multinodular goiter."
If you choose watchful waiting, your physician will set up a schedule for repeat exams and diagnostic testing.
