I've yet not been into the cancer treatment center as they keep changing my appointment!! I now have high sugar levels and my chlosteral levels are beyond hi. I am trying to keep my head up but find myself getting low lately as said they keep prolonging me to get into the center!
I had a complete Thyroid ect on 26 July and they had to send my thyroid out to Pitts PA to be assesed. Upon determination of the results I am a T3 and have to have radition starting 20 Aug 07. It is Papillary cancer but on the postive side it didn't travel through the lymph nodes!!! I'll keep everyone posted thank you for all your support!!!
Hi Kristen
So Glad you had a successful surgery!Im glad that part is behind you.If you have any questions about your RAI please feel free to ask as almost all of us have been through it.Youve got a good prognosis there as it did not go to the nodes as papillary is prone to do.I had a 2.6 hurthle/follicular removed last december and just received a clear scan at the 7 month mark.Ill be hoping you breeze through your RAI and get on your way to being healthy again.

Lightsmsb- Welcome to the board! Lots of good people here who will support you every step of the way through your treatment.
Espritlibre- no not all nodules have to be removed. They usually leave them alone unless they start causing problems with breathing or swollowing.

Young lady you will be fine....I was also in self denial for awhile but you know I got through it and I know several other people from around here that are doing great....they say when you get this type of cancer (not that any cancer is good) but when it capsulizes in on area that means it didn't spread to any other places...trust me your doctor wants you to live a long healthy life and grow old...we are indeed scared when they tell us "you" have cancer...but Trust me and Trust G-d and MOST ASSURED TRUST THIS DOCTOR!!!!! They are tools from G-d and I promise you that you will get better and if you ever need to talk holler away because I am here for you!! G-d Bless you and love to you all!!
I am in the same boat you are, only not quite as far along. I just got my biopsy results yesterday and they too are "suspicious for papillary" carcinoma. It is not uncommon in men, although I am female, so you are definitely not alone. I was absolutely crazed last night, but my Dr. prescribed Xanax and today I fell pretty good (Better living through chemistry.) Of course, information provided on this forum has helped the most. I found all of these responses to your extremely helpful since I have so many of the same questions. I cannot reiterate how helpful to me this group has been in the past couple of days. Thanks to all.
