Ask your doctors?: There are several items you need to know: The size of the tumor nodule in your Thyroid gland matters, so does the Lymph node status. if your tumor size was under 2Cm, the nodes were not involved, your odds of being Cancer free are very high. yet we can not see cancer cells in the body unless they have been there for several years and form another tumor that can be large enough to seen on an X-ray

Follow up: You will need follow-up exams, ultrasound, and lab tests on a regular basis. You will also need to be on thyroid hormone replacement with monitoring of blood levels. Some patients with thyroid cancer also benefit from radiotherapy or radioactive iodine. Your surgeon and/or oncologist should discuss this with you.
