Okies, I've read back from the first surgery. All caught up. I had papillary thyroid cancer 22 1/2 years ago. Total thyroidectomy, followed by one dose of radioactive iodine a year later to remove trace tissue. Cancer free ever since. On synthroid for life, but a fair trade as far as I'm concerned. :-) You've already experienced the surgery part. More of the same to come, likely.
Let me know if you have any questions or just want to chat/commiserate. It looks like you've got a couple of folks giving you some really great info. I can try to give you any info I have.
So glad they caught it early. I heard the same stuff as you "If you had to get cancer, this is the one to get" Generally totally curable via surgery, great chances of NO recurrence. Hereditary.
