Welcome @san99999, that must be confusing when your doctors don't agree when is the right time to do surgery. First of all, it is great that the tumor was found so early. Early stage thyroid cancer is very treatable. Most thyroid cancers are treated with removal of the thyroid gland (thyroidectomy).

San, has it been confirmed that you have papillary thyroid cancer? Did the doctor explain why they prefer to wait until the tumor is 10 mm?
