I have had all the symptoms, but a TSH of 1.5. Had a lump and diffuculty swallowing, a nodule was discovered on an ultrasound. The biopsy resulted in suspicious cells, of papillary follicular carcinoma.
Going in today for a surgical consult, having a thyroid lobectomy to determine the next course of treatment. Hopefully I will get to keep the other half of my thyroid.
Otherwise it's radioactve iodine chemo, and taking thyroid hormones for the rest of my life.
