Yep, I had papillary. I go for scans in March too---here's hoping we're both free and clear!

I never had hashi or hypo that I know of---just the nodule---FNA was positive, so at least I only had to have 1 surgery.

My TSH is kept suppressed at .02-to prevent recurrence--I feel okay. My weight is pretty much normal---as long as I watch what I eat and exercise---I had gained a couple of pounds initially after being hypo for a very long time after RAI. Then it came off when I was more effectively medicated.

Not looking forward to scans in March, so I'm thinking good thoughts!
