[|Human|] Hi, I had a hemithyroidectomy on my right side because of a 6 cm nudule and a biopsy done on the left side which was 2 cm. lab showed neg. Lab results on the right side showed papillary cancer. What should I expect next. Also I have a growth in side my throat that the biopsy showed neg.
[|AI|]  Hi there, If the cancer was removed entirely with no invasion and the margins were negative, then you won't need any further treatment. If there was some disease left, or you had some positive margins, then it might be a good idea to be treated with radioactive iodine.  It sounds like the 2 cm mass was negative, but I would get a repeat US in 6 months to make sure it isn't getting any bigger.  It sounds like you've been adequately treated so far, but that is without your pathology report. I hope I have answered your question. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
