My friend was just dx'd w/ thyroid cancer!. She had surgery to remove the 1!.2 centimeter tumor in the middle of her thyroid!. 3 of the 6 lymph nodes that were taken were found to also have cancer!. Why would her tumor be both papillary AND follicular!? What does that mean for her!?

Thyroid cancer is not rare!. It's the easiest to cure!. I am surprised they did not take all the thyroid!. All this means is the thyroid cancer went into the nodes!. I had thyroid cancer the same kind with lymph nodes also cancer seeded with thyroid!. I was given after surgery, radio-active iodine in large doses to get rid of all thyroid cancer several times!. And yes you are radio-active to others!. You stay away from children, women who are prego!. It's not as bad as you think I am still here and trust my doctor to do his best for me!. I sure will be praying for your friend!. Now smile people do care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
