Doctor recommends total thyroidectomy for a benign nodule

Hi I’m a 20 years old woman and I have a single 3.3 cm thyroid nodule. The FNA biopsy came back benign, but my endocrinologist recommends a total thyroidectomy because he says the nodule will keep growing and if only the nodule is removed, it will come back. Has anyone been in a similar situation?
