Three choices seem acceptable to me. One is to wait as the RO and MO recommend. Two would be to schedule another FNAB 6-8 weeks out to see if the node remains benign. Three would be to have it removed now, not knowing it is metastatic.
Like others doing nothing seems like a long time, Surgery might be not needed while the second one straddles the line. Wait some but get another biopsy and watch like an eagle.
