Hi I’ve been diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid Micro Carcinoma. The biopsies also showed possible affected lymph nodes in my neck. Going for CT scans next week on neck and chest. Cancerous nodule doesn’t seem as bad as the possible spread to lymph nodes. This is worrying me. Thanks for listening x

  • Do you have a date yet for surgery?

  • Hi there 

    Saw consultant on 20/1 and he said I would have surgery within 4 weeks. Scans are  next Thursday. The waiting is the worse! Thanks for getting back to me x

  • It won't make it any easier for you, but everybody finds the waiting really hard.
    Once you get going, you'll probably find it's all a bit of a rollercoaster and for a few months you'll wish it would all slow down so you can catch your breath.

    Most likely, everything is going to be really fine but that probably won't sink in at the moment.

    Best wishes
