Thanks so much for your message! I ended up having the entire thyroid removed. I had an excellent surgeon at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. He told me after the surgery that I had made the right decision removing the entire thyroid because there were additional tumors growing that were not picked up on the ultrasound. It all healed quickly and now I just have to take a thyroid pill each day. I will have to go for ultrasounds every six months on my lymph nodes, but the one lymph node that was removed was not cancerous. In addition to the ultrasounds, I will have to have bloodwork done every so often. I hope that all is well for you too!
