Hi,
I had a full thyroidectomy in Dec 10th and saw the surgeon on 10th January. I had FNA biopsy in Oct and diagnosed with thyroid cancer but without type due to not enough cells end of Oct I caught COVID before first initial date of surgery which was 21st November but postponed till 10th Dec provided I was well enough. Actually this is the 3rd type of cancer I am fighting. I was treated for Nasopharyngeal cancer in 2011 chemo and chemo radiotherapy, kidney cancer with removal of left kidney in 2015 and just as I am nearing the end of ten year review for kidney cancer, I am now battling my third one.
I saw the surgeon on Friday and she said the tests show indifferentiated or poorly differentiated malignant cells. So I am panicking and very scared. I am waiting to see oncologist, they said within a week or two and then Radioactive iodine treatment. Obviously internet can send you to a rabbit hole with information. So looking for support and maybe some idea what to expect. They are waiting for further tests to cone back and surgeon said oncologist should know more then. My surgeon found my right Vocal chords stuck to thyroid which she managed to untangle, I lost my voice after COVID and 5 lymph nodes were stuck to thyroid too which they couldn't remove from thyroid. But the lymph nodes were healthy or no signs. Surgeon said they haven't seen any signs of spread but tests did indicate there are some cancer cells in capillaries of thyroid.
Prognosis doesn't look good for this but am trying to find some strength to cling on. I was 32 when diagnosed with first cancer and I am now 48. Tbh , I don't know what I am aiming for feel like I am in the dark. Is RAI treatment ok? I am to stay 2 nights at hosp when I do it then 2 weeks isolation at home. Looking for some support and reassurance.
Thank you and sorry for lengthy post.
