Hello all!! My 22 year old daughter diagnosed 5 months ago with classic PTC. No angio invasion. Had a hemi and removed left lobe and isthmus. Clear margins but noted on pathology that she had lymphatic invasion present. No angio invasion. Thought for sure they would want to remove rest of thyroid and do RAI but said no they will just watch. When I asked about the lymphatic invasion they said just microscopic tissue that is found. It is a good cancer center but I’m so nervous about leaving remnants. Anyone else have this happen to them and not had recurrence?
