Thank you very much for your support guys! You are the best!

The surgery went pretty well, the post-op is much easier and less painful compared to the TORS/dissection. It has been a week now and I am feeling pretty decent. The post-op pathology confirmed that it was a small-ish, 1.4 cm papillary thyroid cancer,(well-differentiated, not particularly aggressive) which does not appear to have spread anywhere for what they can tell. (That semi-suspicious indeterminate lymph node remains to be followed). The radioactive iodine treatment will be scheduled for sometime mid-April. My doctor has actually told me that for thyroid cancer case like mine normally they would not even give iodine, but since I have had SCC too they think it is better to do it, and I personally agree. I have also started taking thyroid replacement hormone and so far seem to be tolerating it well.

I have had the ultrasound too look again at that ovarian cyst yesterday and I am nervously awaiting the results. No phone call today yet, even though I was told that the results are typically available within 24h. According to the doctors, size increase/decrease from the previous ultrasound is an excellent indicator of malignancy as ovarian cancer tends to be very aggressive and grows very fast. I have done just a little reading, and apparently it is a pretty bad type of cancer. Even if it were stage Ia, the earliest one, the typical treatment would involve surgical removal of both ovaries, hysterectomy, and lots of chemo. I am pretty scared now, but what can I do. Three independent cancers in 6 months for a healthy and relatively young person sounds pretty unbelievable, but it might be happening.
