Should I be overly worried?

I had a total thyroidectomy in August - follicular carcinoma in left lobe and small papillary carcinoma in right lobe. I had RAI in September followed by a full body scan which showed uptake only in area where thyroid was. I had an ultrasound at endocrinologist and a small nodule with vascularity was found. My doctor doesn’t want to “over treat” me and wants me to get checked again in June. Has this happened to anyone else?

I recently had surgery to take out my larynx, I had a total laryngectomy and a bilateral neck dissection. While everything was being taken out, my doctor said the thyroid looked funny and felt strange. They biopsied it and it was positive so it was taken out too. At this point, I've only been out for 6 weeks so nothing happening yet. Thyroid cancer seems to be one of those that doesn't get a lot of "extra" treatments. I hope you are doing well.

Wow, you’ve been through a lot! Hope you’re feeling better.
