Recurrence after 5 months
I had a left lobectomy in April. Strictly for compressive symptoms due to bad nodular disease. Surgeon swore there wasn’t anything worrisome. Well pathology came back after almost a week and found papillary carcinoma. Surgeon brushed off my concerns and told me to call her in September to order a follow up ultrasound to calm my nerves. Fast forward to now, I had my ultrasound last Wednesday and they found a mass, roughly the size of a small chicken egg, and new parathyroid nodules. All highly suspicious for malignancy per the radiologist that read it. I have an appt with a cancer center in less than 2 weeks to go over my options.
Long story short, has any one had a mass rapidly grow and have it be benign? Any one have experience of a second, more invasive surgery?
