I assume you underwent surgery total thyroidectomy and RIA. In future you can have neck nodes which might need surgery again. So meet a surgical oncologists 6 mt to pick it up and nuclear medicine expert for follow up scan. Papillary Ca thyroid is very slow growing generally. It might take years to come again.
