All in a rush
I saw the surgeon late this morning - I have a date for surgery (2nd April) assuming the new bloodiest (done) and ultrasound (waiting now) don't show up anything unexpected. I will most likely be in hospital 2 nights and off work approximately 2 weeks.
After surgery and cytology they will make a recommendation about chemo. It would potentially mean another couple of days in hospital being a radioactive leper.
They are planning a total thyroidectomy as well as a central lymph dissection to confirm it hasn't spread.
I met a couple of women in the waiting room to the surgeon who had both had their thyroid removed. They were both quite a bit older than I and seemed in reasonable health. We spent time discussing how to transport the medication which needs refrigeration when traveling. I learned quite a bit.
April seems both terribly close and far away at the same time.
