UPDATE: the biopsy report was back early. The bad: very early stage one papillary thyroid cancer(.1 cm) was detected in the left lobe of my thyroid. This isn't uncommon since papillary thyroid cancer is often multifocal(appears in many locations in the thyroid). The good: my lymph nodes and blood vessels indicated negative for the presence of abnormal (cancer) cells. It looks like the suggested treatment will be a small amount of radiation, but this will NOT start for at least four weeks.
