I’m waiting on a diagnosis between papillary or follicular cancer. I had an indeterminate ultrasound and FNA biopsy so they went ahead and removed half my thyroid. 9 weeks later and they have told me it is cancer but are awaiting a second opinion to aid diagnosis. They removed 4cm of cancer but the lump itself was bigger.
I am scheduled in to remove the other half of my thyroid and radioactive iodine treatment about a month after.
How long does it take for everything to settle and get back to normal? How long after treatment would I be back at work roughly?
