I think your thought to get a second opinion at Mayo is a very smart one. My initial ENT (that s who did my surgeries) told me all was fine. I eventually transferred care to Penn, and have had more intervention since , and now understand my particular papillary cancer is more aggressive and I need to be watched very carefully. I wish you the best!

hi sweettoothd, lilyann here. i too, have the aggressive papillary cancer. my surgeries were in jan and march of 2022. at the age of 80, they said they do not look at age. i go to the oncologist every month. strange thing though, i am the only thyroid cancer patient of hers. so here i am 81 1/2, given a 6-10 month survival rate. so best wishes to you.
