I want to start with I don't know if my kidney lesion is cancerous or not yet. I was diagnosed a little over a month ago with PTC of the thyroid and my ENT finally told me when I first got in about my BRAF gene mutation. I read somewhere on here that someones doctor told them it was like stepping on the gas petal and not letting up. I'm just curious about anyone else's experience with BRAF and if they developed a kidney lesion after being diagnosed with PTC. Also what did your doctors do for the kidney lesion or PTC before removal of the thyroid or lymphnodes? The only thing my PCP has done is ..read more

I'm currently 21 and will be 22 next month. Was diagnosed with PTC a little over a month ago after waiting nearly a year for a biopsy to be scheduled (issues with department shut down and people not wanting to do their job.) Ultrasounded in February and didn't get in for a biopsy until August. I came back positive for Papillary Carcinoma and was referred to an ENT for further treatment. My ENT surgeon has recommended a total thyroidectomy but wants to make sure that it's not in my lymphnodes. Last Monday I had a ultrasound of my neck and they noted that lymphnodes on both sides of my neck are ..read more

I had an ultrasound in January and multiple nodules were found. I didn't see the report but was told to follow up with another ultrasound in 6 months.

Am I crazy to insist on seeing an endocrinologist and being a little more proactive? I'm reading t ..read more
