I was diagnosed with Papillary cancer that has metastasized to both lungs. Hundreds of small and larger cancers in each.
Had RAI, 175 with better results than expected.
Doctors would like me to do it again. I’m reluctant because I was originally told it could cause a secondary cancer elsewhere.

Welcome new members @mcmaya @tobyscott @wwbosworth and @koh to the Thyroid Cancer group.

Koh, glad to see you connected with others in the Hurthle Cell Carcinoma discussion https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-here-with-hurthle-cell-carcinoma/

Mcmaya, did you decide to get radioactive iodine again? Did you talk to your doctor about your concern in getting a secondary cancer?

TobyScott, how is your son doing on chemo and radiation? Are they able to see improvement (shrinkage of the mass) yet?

Hey Wendy, @mcmaya @vstormy @dho @botts are a few other members who have papillary thryroid cancer. With both Lynch and CHEK, do you stay on top of breast cancer and colon cancer screening?
