I wish I could say something to put your mind at ease.  Without definitive info though, it's easy to think the worst.  I know... I do it all the time.  We're here for you during your time of worry and we'll be here dancing when you get the good news that it's unrelated.  If there is anything I can do... just post.  I'm here all day! :)

I do not know I will find out tomorrow I guess...get my stitches out and see my endo for further guidance. the doc said 4-6 wks after surgery.

[shaerich]

I can totally understand that.  It's hard to just relax when you have "what ifs" in your mind.  When is RAI for you again?

[At The End of My Rope]

I want to believe that as well, but since I was told that my nodule was to small to worry about and to just live my life by one doctor  I have a hard time believe anything told to me right now......

[shaerich]

I have read that as well, but I think it's far more common for Follicular to spread to the lung and bones.  Papillary usually invades the lymphnodes first.  When you do the RAI and the WBS afterward, they will be able to tell if the lung nodules are related.  Although, I would be surprised b/c the biopsies they've done would have revealed that, I would think.  

[At The End of My Rope]

yes as far as I know but now I'm being told it could all be related...how fun....

o'yeah three years ago they tested with PET scan and biospy PET scan showed cancer biospy showed supposedly sarcarodsis which is  a lung disease. and then last year showed after a biospy a lung fungus on med's for $1,000 a month and chemo pills twice for it in the last two years...and they never go away just grow and lymph nodes in chest have been enlarged ever since and grown.

I have also read somewhere that pap cancer can metastasize to the lungs, but I would think that you would first have extensive lymph node involvment prior to that happening.
Are you seeing a pulmonary dr?  what have your biopsies of the lung nodules shown?  If a lung nodule was a metastasis from a papillary cancer then the nodule biopsy would confirm that.


Hope this helps,

Yes, that is why I was so concerned for you about the Docs agreeing on everything before the surgery and what to further look into afterwards.

Your lung is something different, right as far as you know?

I was reading that papillary cancer can spread to the lungs and bones as anyone else read this before. This has me worried as my lungs was the start of the problem and they just happened to find the thyroid nodule that was cancer. I have nodules throughout my lungs.
