Thyroid nodules causing difficulty swallowing?

I was diagnosed in early February with 2 thyroid nodules on the back side of my thyroid which are causing difficulty in swallowing and occasionally my voice is hoarse. A fine needle biopsy showed that the nodules are benign however I can't get in to see the endocrinologist for another 3 weeks. The nodules are on top of each other and one is about 1 inch and the other is about 3/4 inches (sorry the metric escapes me at this moment). Since they are causing discomfort am I correct in uming that they will surgically remove the nodules rather than try the thyroid medication treatment? My TSH levels are well within the normal ranges but I am experiencing severe fatigue, mental fuzziness, and of course difficulty in eating. There is also some pain ociated in the area of the nodules although they cannot be felt directly.
