My daughter went through almost the exact same thing you’re going through. She’s 37yrs old. I believe from what she said the RAI identifies the cancer. She was on a non- iodine diet prior to that so the radioactive iodine could “light up” the cancer, if I understood her right. Best of luck to you 🙏

Thank you so much! And did the RAI kill the cancer? I'm hoping that in the event it is cancer, between the biopsy and removal of the cancerous lymph node and the RAI follow-up, I'll be ok. I was told by my endo that the RAI kills any cancer that's left behind post surgery.
Hope your daughter is doing well! And thanks again. 🙂
