Default Thyroid nodules

hello to everybody:-)

It's been a while since I post...I've just got diagnosed with thyroid nodules ( basically my blodtest got back funky and finally it's hypothyroidism caused by nodules).
I had specialist (doc) appointment this morning, but she wasn't highly motivated to talk to me, so I didn't get any information at all from her.. (I will have biopsy in month or so)..well I know the docs are busy, but right now I'm just huge walking question!

I can "google it", but I'm scared of what can come back...I know I'll be on thyroid hormone rest of my life...but the words nodules and biopsy scares me a lot.
I've been really tired during almost whole 2007 and sleepy as well...and with the treatment I didn't get any better...so my dosage from today is going to be 100 mg of Euritox ( levotiroxine)..( and with the new job .....I look like walking zombie)

Dana..I'd really appreciate any info ( special diet to follow, give up coffee..)...( specially on the biopsy- does it hurts?...),

thanks a lot..
