Papillary Thyroid Cancer: Any experiences to share?

Posted by roya81 @roya81, Nov 29, 2022

Hi, my husband has just been diagnosed by Papillary Thyroid Cancer. Anyone with some info I can use? I’m sick worried.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Thyroid Cancer Support Group.

Hi Don,

I'm going through the VA so I feel like the information I get is kind of...muddled. The endocrinologist is in a hurry to get me referred to a specialist, but I'm still in the process of that. She was kind of vague on whether the cancer is the cause of my symptoms other than the fatigue. The only reason I was even diagnosed is because I went to the ER for chest pain in December (unrelated issue) and found a nodule on my thyroid when they did a CT scan.

@namwob87, I'd like to add my welcome and introduce you to other members who have experienc with papillary thyroid cancer and who can share the symptoms that led to their diagnosis, like @lilyann @roya81 @xyzck88 @koh and others.

@namwob87, have you been able to get an appointment with a surgeon in the meantime? How are you doing?
