Hi Colleen
Thank you for your reply. I had a thyroidectomy February 2022, and they removed malignant lympnodes.
Two weeks ago they removed 38 lympnodes and 8 of them had tumors. The report states metastatic papillary carcenoma.

I had RAI after my thyroidectomy.

The doctor doesn't know if the lympnodes are old and he missed it with the first operation or that it's newly formed malignant lympnodes.

I am cautious to undergo RAI again since I've learned it can lead to secondary cancer but I need expert advice.

Kind regards
