I've recently been diagnosed (via an ultrasound guided biopsy) with papillary cancer. I am a 37 year old male. I will have surgery next week, followed of course by 131 I treatments.

My doctors were originally not planning on doing a CT scan, however I asked for it and received a CT scan this last week. It showed 7 small nodules in my lungs, of a pattern "consistent with early metastases". I also continue to have abnormal liver blood tests (tho an ultrasound of my liver showed that it looked clear).

I'd really like to learn from other thyroid cancer patients who've also had metastases... experiences, info, treatment, prognosis, etc... to have a metastatic cancer (even if it is "only" papillary cancer) is still quite a serious thing, and i want to learn from others.
