Do they remove lymph nodes to check for spread in all cases ?!
I had a partial thyroidectomy two weeks ago. I was diagnosed with 1 cm PTC on the right lobe. I'm waiting to see the surgeon post op next week.
My surgeon never mentioned removing any lymph nodes in the surgery. Is this routinely done in surgeries or is it a case by case decision ?!
Did anyone have just the thyroid removed without any lymph nodes removed ??
Thanks
