I was diagnosed with PTC in Nov. 2008. Total thyroidectomy in Dec. Doctor didn’t give me RAI until end of March. Ever since I have had painful lymph nodes on the side tumor was on. I only had one blood test since surgery up until 3 weeks ago. US also showed 2 enlarged lymph nodes. My TSH level was 11! I am scheduled for a FNA on Tues. Mar. 2 2010. If it is cancer I have to get a total neck dissection. I have had a lot of mistakes too. What hurts the most is the # of people that say, “if you’re going to get cancer this is the best one to get.” Nothing like not being worried about huh? God bless you and thanks for sharing!

I was diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid cancer in 2007, had the surgery(total thyroidectomy) and RAI. In Jan. 2009 I had a recurrence after having several good thyroglobulin tests and a clear body scan. I was dumbfounded. I am having the follow-up thyroglobulin testing done next week and I am a nervous wreck. I have pain in my neck, and an MRI showed a possible lymph node enlarged. The thyroglobulin test will tell the tale. Please don’t let your guard down, and don’t neglect your check-ups. I’ve been told I was cancer free twice now.

wanted to give you an update. tried getting that thyrodglobin test instead of the fnb and told me that i couldn’t do it like that. i had to have it removed to have the blood test (made no sense to me) but i am scheduled to have the biopsy on Friday. i am going to talk to dr about free 3t and 4t as many of my fibro issues for the last almost decade really overlaps hypothyroid and even though my levels have been normal maybe they haven’t been normal for me. my temp has always been 96.8 since i was a kid. Clearly that was a problem no one ever did anything about. thanks so much.

I was so glad to find your blog. I’m a 38 year old man who just got my diagnosis of papillary carcinoma this week. I’m also a doctor. I’m sorry that there were so many screw ups early on in your care but I’m relieved that you’ve been cured!
All the best, Doc in DC
