I had a whole body bone scan and CT 2 days prior to surgery. Doc said there was a shadow on the thyroid. Simple mascetomy on left side went well (nov 16). Recovery going extremely well worried about thyroid.

  Glad to hear your surgery went well. Sorry you now have to worry about your thyroid while you recover. Has your doctor said what the next step will be?

  My mo refused to include the neck in the initial CT scan. He said it does not spread there. Probably you have nodules in the thyroid.

  Try not to worry. It is unlikely to be cancer.

  Best wishes for your recovery.
