Some nodules can produce extra thyroid hormone, distinct from the thyroid hormone that your pituitary gland produces. Hashimoto's can cause nodules, too (I think). I'm not sure if your blood work conclusively ruled out either of those options, but again, I'm concerned because if memory serves, you weren't feeling all that great even before you realized that your thyroid was enlarged. If I were in your shoes, I might at least make an appointment with the endo. If in three months time, you feel good, then skip it, but if you still feel off (trouble sleeping, hot or cold, anxiety, heart palpitations or a racing heart, hair loss, fatigue, depression, dry or oily skin), then go through with the appointment and see what an endo says.

In any event, I'm really glad it's not cancer. I hope you already feel tons better. Just keep us posted if anything else develops or changes.
