Thyroid cancer plastered to trachea. Anyone?

If they didn’t diagnose cancer right after surgery, maybe there is still a chance that it is negative….false positives of biopsy’s happen! The location of the thyroid is tricky for potential voice issues, so the positive side of not having any issues from the surgery is great news! As expected with any major surgery, the healing takes a little while, so just give yourself time. Hard candy and plenty of liquids will ease the soreness in your throat and help manage the mucus and do your neck exercises! I will remain hopeful that your news is good and follow-up will be easy. Take care!

Thank you-I appreciate your kind words. My surgeon sent the initial pathology report generated during the operation to a group of "experts" for a further in depth opinion. I met with him the other day and he still did not want to comment at all until he had that final report and its sub classification. I was set up for RAI but my surgeon called my endocrinologist and cancelled not wanting to do anything until those results were taken into consideration. I have read the initial pathology report and to my layman's understanding it is not as promising as I would like. Its been 17 days since the surgery and I am kind of lost. Anyone one else have a similar experience?
