After scan and biopsy which was found to be suspicious, I went through a Thyroidectomy which was tested and found to be Papillary Cancer but the report also found Follicular architecture with high mitotic count. The nodule which was great than 5cm had been breached in four places and penetrated blood vessels and Lymph nodes. An estimate of my cancer was in the region I had it since 2019.
Treatment was a Radioactive Iodine which would be a larger doze so meaning three days than usual two in Hospital, two days prior to going in receiving injections each day and week prior being iodine free diet.
As far as I can glean from Cancer team, the Follicular is very aggressive so the penetration outwith the nodule and growth in size is a characteristic of this type of cancer. It can return after treatment and was designated DHGTC in 2022 by World Health Organization. I could not find much information but did read the WHO report and a group report on 32 patients results.
Is anyone else had results or went through diagnosis and recovery from this Cancer.
