Papillary thyroid carcinoma in the lungs with uptake in chest bones and ribs
I am female 75 years old. Had TT in 1988. February 2018 accidentally found via xray a 10mm nodule on right lung. Doctor ordered Petscan that showed the nodule and uptake in some bones on chest and ribs. Biopsy confirmed the nodule is Papillary thyroid carcinoma with metastasis in the bones. Does anyone have this same medical issue? I made some research and the prognosis at my age is not good. I am going to see another endocrinologist as my own endocrinologist does not have an experience with my case. I just need some more information out there if there is any.
