Thyroid Cancer-anyone been diganosised AFTER WLS?

My husband has just been diagnosed with thyroid cancer-had his thyroid removed and looking at having another surgery to remove enlarged lymph nodes in his chest area-he had WLS 9 months ago and everyone chalked the bumps on his body as being "fatty tissue" and when after a chest xray they saw a mass in his chest they said the same thing and never followed up b/c he was "too big" for the cat scan(2 yrs later he finally had a cat scan after losing 160lbs)Has anyone been diagnosed with thyroid cancer-and at what stage in the cancer are you-do you find that you're farther along in the cancer because of your size? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks Heather
