Yes! My husband has a 1.4 cm papillary carcinoma. He was diagnosed at Northwestern and it is a 6 month wait for a presurgical consult in order to book the senior surgeon. We could go with a more junior surgeon but he is 72, has heart issues and I had same surgery with complications (nicked vocal cord) so we feel the best option is to wait. The plan is to do a 3 month follow up ultrasound to see if there is any growth that is concerning. Is this a smart plan or should we opt for an earlier surgery with the more junior surgeon? Thanks!
