Metastatic Thyroid Cancer

My husband's been diagnosed with Papillary TC and will have a TT and neck dissection next Thurs. My main worry though is his chest CT which has shown four 3-4mm nodules on the ribs and some kind of deposit on the bone. Does this mean it's metastasised to the lungs and bone? Will it be cured? I'm so scared. 

  • Hi RoyaA,

    Firstly I hope you're getting on OK - I can imagine this must be a worrying time. Unfortunately it's not possible for anyone other than the medical team to answer those questions, and after any relevant tests have been done. It's good to hear that it's not too long to wait until the appointment this week, which will be another opportunity to ask any questions you have.

    I hope you're able to get all the information you need soon. In the meantime, we are always here for support on the forum whenever you may need it, and I hope it is helpful for you.

    Wishing you all the best,
