Surgery was over and I had my follow up with the doctor. He did not want to do any follow up scans or tests. I started on my synthroid pills and they are amazing! I actually felt like I had more energy after surgery then before. A month later I still did have the enlarged lymph node in my neck which was concerning to me. I went to my primary care doctor and she ordered an ultrasound of the node to determine it's size. It came back measuring 2.6 x .9 x 1.1cm. This raised enough concern and I was sent back to an ENT surgeon.
This time I chose to go with a different doctor would was younger and would have an aggressive approach. I went in for my appointment and the doctor preformed a fine needle biopsy on the node along with ordering an I-131 scan.

I've had this done too. Something to remember, when you go and have xrays done during a dental visit make sure they cover all your neck! Good Luck
