I was diagnosed with minimally invasive follicular carcinoma two years ago. after treatment was told i am cured, but what is my long term prognosis?

Probably cured: You're young, and folks under 45 who have this stuff in their thyroids and don't have metastatic disease at the time of surgery usually get a cure. There's a new paper http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/22853727.
