Thyroid Cancer

Hi in March I was diagnosed with Papillary Cancer, I was booked in for a Hemithyroidectomy, one week later on visiting the surgeon for a check up I was told the cancer had spread and they would need to do a completion Thyroidectomy. This has been done now and awaiting iodine Radiotherapy, I still feel somewhat isolated, look forward to being part of this group.

  • Less than 2 days. I had the radio-iodine capsule around lunchtime on say Wednesday and went home about midday on the Friday. So it wasn't too bad. But there were restrictions on me for about two weeks after that - not being around small children, not sharing a bed with anybody for a certain number of days, that sort of thing.
