I made notes from the pathology report (thankfully, since someone deleted it from my hospital information portal.)

It said the nodule was 3.5cm. The tumor size was 0.5cm in greatest dimension.
The cancer is papillary carcinoma: follicular variant.
Pathological staging-
Primary tumor: pT1a Reginal lymph nodes: pNx
There was modular hyperplasia with dystrophic calcification.

My ENT told me when she called that she is calling this "incidental carcinoma."
Many times they follow with radiation therapy but this was so small she doesn't believe any further treatment is necessary.
There was no lymph involvement.
There was no involvement of the circulatory system.

She wants to refer me to another doctor for a second opinion so that we can be sure we are doing everything necessary.

No one has called with that appointment yet. I'm not sure if this secondary opinion doctor is an oncologist..or what. She gave me a name I didn't recognize and I couldn't find him/her online.

I'm going to call her office again asking for this information.

She says basically we got it all but the lymph nodes around my neck are still sore and tender- which was true even before the thyroidectomy.
