Hi Everyone, my name is Steve and today my Dr called me and told me that I have papillary thyroid carcinoma today. I'm 40 years old and kind of feeling scared. Glad to see this forum is out there with everyones stories of recovery. I didn't really get much info, they biopsied my right side earlier this week and now this. So I'm just waiting for another dr to call me about my next apt and see where we go from there.

Hi Steve,
I just saw your post. I am hoping that you have had the surgery and that it was successful. I just received a phone call from the dr who did my thyroid biopsy and two of the nodules have turned cancerous. I was in shock when I received that call! As of now, I have a “virtual appointment” on Wed with a thyroid surgeon. Like you, I am also feeling scared. I am 74 but I have always been in good health. There are the two nodules on the right side that have changed and there is a tiny nodule on the left side, so I will have to see what the surgeon recommends. I hope that you are doing well now and that everything came out okay with your surgery. MaryAnn from Boston

Hi Steve
I'm scheduled to have thyroid surgery on February 22 at Moffitt in Tampa FL. My byopsy came back 80% positive for cancer so I'm having it removed. I can't feel it and have no symptoms. I'm hoping for 1 day surgery and that will be it.
I'll be happy to try and answer any questions you have.
Don
