..Re-Heat, thanks for that. I have no thyroid left, so post surgery, I have nothing left to take a sample from. The discovery of PTC was from the routine Histology of my hyperthyroid gland.
The reason my thyroid was taken out was for a total cure for hyperthyroidism. I was on carbimazole for 1.5 years and it was felt that long term exposure was not good. Good job really, as the cancer would not have been discovered - therefore, I have been, and could have still been ,flying a commercial service for BA hosting PTC. Not anymore though. I-131 is scheduled for May 26th - a 4 day process in isolation at Addenbrookes, Cambridge.
