topic Persistent Thyroid Cancer in Living with cancer https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/Living-with-cancer/Persistent-Thyroid-Cancer/m-p/40549#M2746 <P>Hi friends, I had a complete thyroidectomy in May 21 and did not have RAI as was given a less than 5% chance of recurrence/ persistence. Had my check up ultrasound in January which showed 4 suspicious lymph nodes, had FNA in Feb with confirmed PTC persistence. I have an appointment with a surgeon on Monday to be given a date for a neck dissection. So I feel that everything is on hold. I will have the RAI 6-12 weeks after surgery. I’ve had to wait since the end of Feb for this appointment with the surgeon…..that’s been difficult.</P> Mon, 17 Apr 2023 10:07:24 GMT MJ1970 2023-04-17T10:07:24Z Persistent Thyroid Cancer https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/Living-with-cancer/Persistent-Thyroid-Cancer/m-p/40549#M2746 <P>Hi friends, I had a complete thyroidectomy in May 21 and did not have RAI as was given a less than 5% chance of recurrence/ persistence.
