I now am waiting for a scheduled biopsy of the lymph node. I would still like to avoid surgery wether the biopsy is benign or metastic. I'm still noticing that the first sugery ( at 72) was hard on me. The next potential surgery will be harder with more potential side effects. In that the CT scan only identified "one" suspicious lymph node, I'm hoping there is a way to treat / remove / ablate that lymph node rather than the full neck dissection along with completion thyroidectomy. It seems like radio frequency ablation may be the option "if" I can get a referral for it, and I'm an acceptable candidate.
