    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.
