I am 27 and female
I was a goiter patient for 5 years. (if you need, i may send my analysis reports) till my doctor advise me surgery option. (till this decision, there was no problem about my all reports even biopsy result)
I had operation on 06.11.2006, and during the operation, my doctor has found 7 mm papillary thryoid cancer, and he had surgery to remove the entire thyroid (total thyroidectomy) He said that he also took several samples (about 20) from my lymph nodes to check if they contain the cancer, but no cancer cells has found around them. And he also found no cancer according to my throat&lungs scan
One of the University Endocrine Council has checked my results (surgery report, scans, throat&lungs scan after surgery)
And decided that i do not need the radioactive iodine or external-beam radiation therapy because of the dimension of cancer (7 mm is small) and no metastasis.
Now, i am taking EUTHRYOX 150 mg one a day.
I want to learn;
My doctor sait that he should see me for every 6 months (do you think should i go more often?)
Do you think do i need radioactive iodline theraphy?
How is the treatment after surgery?
Is it possible to have same cancer again, which parts of my body do i have to make control except lungs and throat?
Do i change my lifestyle, what do you offer?
