Thyroid cancer query

Offline

I am almost 65 fit and healthy, had left thyroid removed in January contained 3.2 cm invasive encapsulated FVPTC, told it was contained in thyroid, no lymph nodes taken. Advised to have right side removed as had a small nodule less than 1 cm, This was carried out in May. Now informed this contained  2 areas of classic papillary microcarcinoma. Also told some tissue has gone to immunohistchemisty but results not back yet. As far as I'm aware no lymph nodes taken and again contained but communication with me has been poor.

Just wondering if anyone in  or been in a similar situation and what further treatment they had if any.

many thanks

  • Hello Barnesgirl and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry that the communication you've been receiving hasn't been the best. This must be very frustrating but if there is anything you are unsure of or don't understand then do try and see if you can talk things through more thoroughly with your team so you know what's going on and where you stand.

    Hopefully some of our members who have experience of thyroid cancer will share their experiences and advice with you soon but if you'd like to discuss any of this with one of our cancer nurses, they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope you're able to find out more soon and I wish you all the best moving forward.

    Kind regards,
