We had Jay's post-op visit today with his ENT. (for those of you new to this list Jay had surgery last Thursday to remove his parathyroid glands and thyroid cancer was found) His pathology report confirmed that he had a 4cm tumor on the left side of his thyroid (pretty big size) and a smaller one on his right side. On the right side he also had cancer in some of the lymph nodes. His cancer is (or was!) papillary thyroid cancer. He will now need to visit with the oncologist and will have a radioactive iodine therapy to make sure everything is zapped, I guess. He gets to have the pleasure of another stay in the hospital. He is real thrilled about that idea....:-) After his two surgeries his is sick of the place! On the good side he is cleared to go back to work. I think he is tired of hanging around here. :-) Thanks again for the visits and calls.
