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?
Good thoughts, good thoughts, good thoughts only Jackie! :) Hugs ~Kim
mommy2two and venora thanks for thinking of me i really appreciate it
i asked my doctor for tg test and he didnt know what it was but said it wasnt for that how are you supposed to argue with the almighty doc also i have never had any RAI well i now have to wait 4 weeks to see my consultant so i will think positive and hope its tissue
thanks again

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
