..just been diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer, after a total thyroidectomy for my original thyrotoxicosis!! - removal of thyroid was planned as a toatl cure for hyperthyroidism. This is a bolt from the blue as my consultant was not anticipating pathology to reveal any abnormal thyroid tissue. There were two microscopic foccii papillary tumors. So, 15 months after regaining my class1 and Command in BA on Short-Haul - my license is pulled again for further investigation and possible I - 131 treatment to mop up any remaining thyroid cells in my body. Bugger.
...on the +ve side, this would not have been detectable without histology so I could have gone on a few years with this growing without my knowledge. So early detection = excellent prognosis, but, as ever, with this suff going on in your body you never know.
I'll keep posting with updates.
Rgds to alll thyroid sufferers - although mines gone now!!
