that is great news. Hope you are recovering well. I had Follicular carcinoma with vascular invasion. My lump came up quickly and grew fast. A fine needle biopsy revealed no cancer, however it was large (luckily) so it needed to come out. A month later the path came back and I had surgery to remove my left thyroid as well. Because of my age, 64, the size and the kind I did have RAI. My surgery was June and July. I'm still trying to recover. I'm glad no other surgery or meds needed!! And my condolences to you on your mom. I know this journey for you had to be so full of anxiety. Happy day!
