Anyone have experience with papillary thyroid cancer?

Question

Just wondering about RAI 131 treatment, and the incidence of recurrence...tumor well defined...2cm with no spread to lymph nodes.

Answer 1

Your outcome without lymph node involvement sounds excellent! If the cancer takes the I131 well then hopefully only one treatment is needed. My thyroid cancer for a 30 year old female was not caught early, I had of course thyroid involvement, over 40 nodes plus a sneaky one near the heart causing problems. So yours was caught at a perfect time. Be sure to do the Low Iodine Diet - I was never told about it the first few treatments I had! I have a site for thyroid cancer patients if you are interested in asking questions or answering others it is, on the source site below. Talk to you there!

Answer 2

I don't have experience, but have read about the different types because I do have some nodules. It sounds like good news that it hasn't spread to lymph nodes and that it is well defined and small. They have been very successful in curing thyroid cancer nowadays. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
