I was dx a little over 5 years ago, and it took 3 surgeries (thyroidectomy and 2 bilateral neck dissections) over 18 months to get me to be no evidence of disease (NED). I had a positive biopsy 2 years later followed by a modified left neck dissection with the path report being negative for thyca (and lymphoma, there was a concern of that). I had a scar revision and some chin reconstruction this past March and then had an MRI come up with 2 extremely suspicious lymph nodes. Off for another modified left neck dissection last month with again another negative path report. Needless to say, I am done with surgery! I've has 3 RAIs as well. I really don't like the RAI, I feel crappy already being so hypo and I always get nauseous. Remission generally isn't used in the thyca world, NED or saying you've been clean for x years (referring to a clean WBS).
