The endocrinologist comes in and tells me that the reason we're doing the MRI is because there's one area of the scan that looks like it may be out of the "thyroid bed." It might be in a lymphnode, but if it is, "we'll just pluck it out."
I look at him....
"Yep, you'll have another surgery and then do the radioactive iodine..."
Just pluck it out...easy enough for the guy not being plucked.
As it turns out, we're good to go for tomorrow.
Language matters, huh?
