Re: Anyone have mets to the thyroid
Dhealy,
Hi so sorry you have a new issue to deal with. I had a few nodules on my thyroid that were found on my cat scan in May after my masectomy surgery. My oncologist told me it was of no urgent nature and after my chemo i had them biopsied. One was found to be a small papillary thyroid cancer. I had a total thyroidectomy done in Nov and am now on synthroid. I need no further treatment or radioactive dye. For me this was not mets of the breast cancer but a total seperate cancer. However most thyroid cancers are contained and 100% curable which was the case with mine. My oncologist also told me breast cancer only spreads to lungs, liver, bones and brain therefore in my opion i dont think this would be mets.
Again i am so sorry to here you are going through another issue. I just want to reassure you that if you need surgery it is an easy one with a quick recovery time.
