Hi, I am new here..My mom was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer in both sides of her thyroid in April of 2008. She did the low iodine diet and took the treatment (think maybe I 131) in July 08. She just recently followed the low iodine diet again and had a full body scan done (I-123). The impressions reads that there is "no convincing evidence for recurrent disease". Under findings one part is concerning to us (and keep in mind that WE have the report, have not seen the doctor and won't until Friday, but just trying to get an idea of what this may be)..it says several things..all of which sound fine..then one part goes on to say this: "there is a focus of greater activity in the right oropharynx, of questionable clinical significance". Is this something normal that can show after thyroid cancer or can we expect something else? The rest of the scan looked fine. Nothing else noted. Also, we wondered if it wasn't a big deal since nothing was noted about following this up. She will also get her thyroglobulin report this week.

Thanks!
