We met with the surgeon today. He scheduled Chance for his first surgery of the day. We will go in at six in the morning. Luckily, we are right across the street from the hospital, so we don't even have to load up in the car.
The surgeon said he should have a pretty good idea whether it is cancerous or not when he gets in there. He will remove the left half of the thyroid, the isthmus, and all the nodules. If he sees evidence of cancer, he will remove the rest of the thyroid and possibly lymph nodes right then. Otherwise, they will take some samples at that time and will have definitive results in about 24 hours.
I will update as I can tomorrow.
