Anyone have mets to the thyroid
I am 4 1/2 years out from diagnosis and recently had a thyroid scan ordered by my GP for my hypothyroidism. I have 3 nodules, 1 is a solid mass and 2 have vascularitis, also have 3 enlarged lymph nodes surrounding the thyroid and a pea sized enlarged lymph node in the right supraclavicular area. My onc has scheduled neck, chest, abdomen and pevic ct scans and has scheduled me to see a surgeon. He believes it is follicular thyroid neoplasm. I did some research and came across an article written by a doctor in Ireland who states her2 gene has been found in thyroid cancers. Just wanted to know if anyone else has had mets to the thyroid. Any infor or input would be much appreciated. Thanks, Dhealey
