Is A Surgery Needed For The Swollen Lymph Nodes And Thyroid Removed Due To Cancer?

I had a my thyroid removed 8 months ago due to papillary thyroid cancer and was told I was cancer free. About 8 wks afterwards and a dosage of 100mcg Synthroid I started feeling the same symptoms as before the surgery. I had an abnormal ultrasound which showed a neck mass or possible lymph node enlargement, a later CT scan with contrast showed normal. My dosage was raised to 150 mcg Synthroid plus 5000 units D3 daily. My GP is forwarding a copy of the reports to my surgeon. Why would the reports be forwarded to my surgeon? Does this mean there could be another surgery? I m confused.and still have pain on both sides of my collar bone ?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have papillary carcinoma of thyroid. Now you have enlarged lymphnode. You should go for lymphnode biopsy. Lymphnode metastasis is very common in papillary carcinoma of thyroid. So go for biopsy. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
