I have also been diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer and will meet with the surgeon virtually on Wednesday. I have had three nodules for six or seven years……they have always stayed benign. Always kept up with the ultrasounds every two years. Now, they have turned cancerous. I am 74 years old and basically in good health. This is all so new to me! I am so sorry that yours has spread to the lymph nodes. I will keep you in my prayers. I just saw that your post was in 2021, so I hope that you are now doing well. MaryAnn from Boston
