Papillary Thyroid Cancer symptoms
I was diagnosed on the 14th with thyroid a cancer after having a nodule biopsy. Am currently working to get an appointment with a thyroid surgeon. Over the past year I have been having A LOT of what would be considered hypothyroid symptoms but my t4 and t3 levels always come back normal. I was just wondering if anyone else had similar experiences. (Female, 36)

Hi
I had thyroid surgery several weeks ago to remove right thyroid folowing byopsy that showed 80% probability of cancer. I'm recovering with no side effects except 3 inch incision on nech. I go back in another month for blood work to see if I will need to be on medication going forward. I'd be happy to answer any questions I can?

Hi Don,

I'm going through the VA so I feel like the information I get is kind of...muddled. The endocrinologist is in a hurry to get me referred to a specialist, but I'm still in the process of that. She was kind of vague on whether the cancer is the cause of my symptoms other than the fatigue. The only reason I was even diagnosed is because I went to the ER for chest pain in December (unrelated issue) and found a nodule on my thyroid when they did a CT scan.

@namwob87, I'd like to add my welcome and introduce you to other members who have experienc with papillary thyroid cancer and who can share the symptoms that led to their diagnosis, like @lilyann @roya81 @xyzck88 @koh and others.

@namwob87, have you been able to get an appointment with a surgeon in the meantime? How are you doing?
