I have multiple bilateral thyroid nodules, with one dominant nodule on the left lobe measuring 8 x 10 x 15mm. The nodule is hypoechoic, solid, partially cystic, and contains punctate echogenic foci. I am concerned about the potential risk of thyroid cancer based on internet information. What are the implications of these findings, and should I be worried?

I had to take an ETG test at 5 pm yesterday. I ate a bite of tiramisu on Friday night at 9 pm and now I am concerned. Will I fail the test? Additionally, will starting an anti-anxiety medication in a few days affect a breathalyzer test in two weeks? What about if I have acid reflux or heartburn? Will that create alcohol in my body, and will taking Tums tonight affect a breathalyzer test in ten days?
