She needs to follow up with an ultrasound, and if they are over a cm, she should get an FNA biopsy.  There is a woman on this forum who goes by utahmomma, she had papillary cancer, all three of her sisters had it too, and her daughter had suspicious cells followed by a TT.  You might be able to talk to her and get her opinion.  What type of cancer did you have?

Hello and welcome.  Do you have the actual results to post the size, etc.  If they are large enough maybe they will biopsy them which is probably a good idea in my opinion but of course, I'm just a patient and not a doc.
