Had thyroid cancer and removal 3 years ago and didn't have to do any radiation, can it come back? im worried i have a 2 year old and one on the way
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Thyroid cancer can come back. That is why it is important to have continued follow-up with your doctor to make sure your TSH suppression, surveillance imaging and blood work is performed to monitor for signs of recurrence.
