    I would wait for confirmation and try not to worry. I think if it has been caught early, then it may be a thyroidectomy, followed by RAI treatment if needed, then years of monitoring. I had papillary thyroid cancer and from googling your diagnosis, it sounds like the procedure and survival rate is similar. I pray it is.

    You are welcome and please let us know.. I am sure you will find others out there that will have had the same diagnosis. This discussion board helped me so much. This and trusted doctors and a strong support team are essential! :]

    google is not always accurate and can be frightening and misleading. Better to come from the horses mouth (if you will..)
