Hi, I did. I found one enlarged lymph node in my neck in March this year and after a couple of FNA's they found thyroid cells in the lymph. I had no obvious areas of cancer on my thyroid on Ultrasound so they 'assumed' it was thyroid cancer based on the presence of thyroid calls in my lymph. In August I had a total thyroidectomy and 50 lymph nodes removed on one side of my neck. When the histology came back I had 7 tumours in my thyroid and 11 affected lymph nodes. Papillary thyroid cancer. I then went on to have radioactive iodine treatment in October.  My team were as sure as they could be without having the proof that the presence of thyroid cells in my lymph node meant it would be thyroid cancer and they were right. I'm not really sure if there could be any other cause for this, no other option was ever discussed with me. I hope it turns out to be another reason for you. But please be assured that even if it turns out to be cancer you are very much in the worst part of your journey now. I hated waiting for news and a plan. It was almost a relief when they told me what they wanted to do because there was an end to the not knowing. Positive thoughts for you. 

Thank you for your reply I appreciate it, I feel like I would be the same in being relieved! I had my ultrasound in October which found the thyroid nodule and the several enlarged lymph nodes and I was reallY hoping I'd get some definite answers from the biopsy as they took 5 samples. I'm going to chase up with the surgeons secretary on Monday. When I last met with surgeon she explained about neck dissection and thyroidectomy etc so I think that is looking like it will be what happens but may need another biopsy first. I agree waiting is definitely the hardest part, I just want to know what is happening and when so I can prepare myself x
