I was diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma in August, 2023 and had a total thyroidectomy in October, 2023. 4.4cm nodule in right thyroid lobe, encapsulated, no lymph involvement. Thyroid bed clear after surgery. Had an ultrasound November, 2025 that noted a nonspecific 5mm nodule in right thyroid bed. Stressing about what this means because I was told I was low risk for recurrence and it could be scar tissue. I also had a low dose of RAI in April 2024. I thought that was supposed to get rid of any remnants of tissue and cells? Finding it hard to wait until May, 2026 for next ultrasound.
