Good morning! I am very glad to have found this group.

I had a thyroglossal duct cyst removed in 2005 - no cancer. In 2009 I began to have what I found out were hyperthyroid symptoms with TSH levels at .5. Tests uncovered a large goiter with multiple cysts. I had a ultrasound guided FNA and the liquid/visual showed no cancer. My endocrinologist decided to "watch" it. It continued to grow so I had a complete thyroidectomy in February of 2011 - no cancer - and i was put on synthroid. About 8 weeks ago, my biannual bloodwork showed a sharp increase in TSH - 6.89. The test was repeated to rule out error. I had an ultrasound on Thursday and the results yesterday state "regrowth of thyroid". I'm so scared and confused. I'm waiting for next steps.

I'm so sorry you're facing this. I pray all goes well for you.
I have my PET scan this Tues to determine what the hell is growing in the thyroid bed! I had my thyroid removed in April & ultrasound shows something large in the same spot the cancer was . Ugh.
Prayers for you!
