Hey @cocha thank you for the links! I've been reading similar findings in other studies too. I think the lobectomy was the right choice but just wonder if more could have been done diagnostically prior to surgery to get a better idea if there were any lymph nodes involved, considering how common it is for early lymph node micrometastasis with PTC. Ultrasound, cat scans, mapping the neck and lymph nodes, diagnostic low dose RAI, lymph node biopsy ... there must be some way to get a bigger picture of what's going on in there.

I am seeing my surgeon today to see what he is thinking -- he was going to present my case to his tumor board on Monday.

How are you doing?

I did from my endocrinologist who specializes in neck ultrasound
