Hi everyone !
I had a hemi thyroidectomy in July after a 2 year ‘watch and wait ‘ approach with a slow growing thy3f. The surgeon was as shocked as I was when it was removed and turned out to be a 3 and a half cm carcinoma with a second one growing in a lymph node nearby . I’m going back in on Wednesday for a completion . It’s been 8 weeks . Did anyone else wait this long? It’s felt like a lifetime . I’m confused as to what this second one was ( a micro papillary carcinoma of 3mm) as they said it wasn’t from the original????? So what was it then? And I’m a little confused as to why I urgently needed to have the rest removed but it’s okay to wait 8 weeks?? Anyone had a similar experience? Xxx thanks everyone
