Hi. I have just been told that I must have a radical bilateral neck dissection following a thyroidectomy 2 months ago in which the surgeon misdiagnosed my case and Sloan Kettering picked up on it. What was it like? Do you have big scars? Why are u stage Il if it metastasized from the thyroid? I thought that was stage 4a?
Thanks for any help u can offer. Surgery is soon.

What has your doctor told you? It sounds like you need to have a long talk with your doctor or find a doctor who is more willing to share information. Even if there are no signs of cancer, you need to develop a good relationship with your doctor. You need to stay on top of screenings and your TSH levels. It took until my fourth endo until I was comfortable, but now I know we work as a team. He shares information and is not offended when I remind him of things that need to be done. Remember- MOST ENDOCRINOLOGIST ARE NOT PRIMARILY CANCER DOCTORS!

Glad to hear you are celebrating. Going through RAI? Would love to hear more about what you have been through. We are hear to support you. I'm stage 4 metastatic follicular thyroid cancer myself, but doing well. Hope you have a first rate endocrinologist who is familiar with thyroid cancer. Good luck.
