Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Papillary thyroid cancer has good prognosis if not spread in distal organs. So first step in the management is to decide stage of the papillary thyroid cancer. So you will require PET scan first to know about distal organ metastasis. If distal organ metastases are present than it is known as stage 4 cancer. In this surgery is not done. Only palliative chemotherapy and radiotherapy is given. These patients carry poor prognosis. But if distal metastases are absent then surgical excision of tumor is treatment of choice with post-operative chemotherapy and radiotherapy should be given. These patients carry good prognosis.
