My doctor was highly rated. Plus he is on the tumor board. We did an MRI and CT, but nobody saw anything. He did say it was deep in there. He said once he got in there this time there were 2 additional nodules. He took all the lymph node on the right.
I think it is differentiated PTC. They felt confident and he still wants to do RAI bot instead of 102, plans on 140. I go in Monday to get stitches and hopefully the dran removed.

They didn't see anything further on my left side. If it does come back, it is likely to be there. He said it is still a risk he needs to disclose but thinks this should take care of things. They will biopsy what was taken out to see if the PTC changed gene form. There is a risk of that too.
