Reply to "Thyroid Nodule - Cancer?"

CTBarristerMember

I am a thyroid cancer survivor. I had a nodule felt on my throat by PCP in May 2015. He told me like 1 out of 10 patients he sends for the ultra sound end up with it being cancerous and not benign.

An ultrasound and needle aspiration biopsy confirmed I had papillary thyroid cancer. I had a thyroidectomy in July 2015 and they gave me the radioactive iodine 157 millicuries in September 2015. My scans since have all been negative and blood labs all look good. I am taking synthroid. Thyroids are not needed and synthroid does the job it used to do.
