please help could my cancer be back

i had a tt two years ago and a speck of pap cancer was found but i was told it was nothing but after a routine scan 2 weeks ago they found swelling and today i went for a mri and on my form i saw they had written urgent and the word cancer and something being 7mm i couldnt make out the rest but i felt sick. i thought with such a small peice of cancer on my thyroid and having the whole thing removed that would be it. i didnt think i would be going through this again could it be back or is it more likely something else. on my last bloods my tsh was 0.08 and my t4 22.3

I dont know what kind of doc you have but if he doesnt know about TG then you need to fire him ASAP. You should check out my post in the bi polar forum about why docs dont listen.

Your doctor doesn't know what a Tg test is???  And you are seeing this doc for Papillary Thyroid Cancer management???  I think you need to find a second opinion.  Stat.  Is your Doc an Endocrinologist?

I echo mommys comments.Throid tissue can grow back.Have you had any blood tests for Thyroglobin? (TG in throid slang)
TG is used as a cancer marker. The higher the TG the more likely the cancer has come back.
I just  had my 2nd RAI for  cancer.supression I had my pap cancer about the same time you did 2 years ago come September.
Remember no news is good news and cross that bridge when you get to it.
Adding my prayers for you too.

Jackie hun, I am sorry you are struggling.  On the cautious side of this the doctor could have included words like possible cancer recurrance or history of cancer and urgent together to get across his wanting the MRI scheduled fast????  I am hoping and praying for the best.  The 7mm could be thyroid tissue????  Like I said only thinking the best here!  Much love and I'll be thinking of you! ~Kim
