Thyroid Cancer for Beginners

 

 

 


  Welcome to my web site about Thyroid Cancer.
     About me  Questions and Answers  Tips and hints  Forum

Hopefully you will find information here that will be useful to you. I’ve included links to various cancer organizations. You’ll be able to find a huge amount of information there, but when it comes down to it who better to provide the answers than those of us who have been there, done it, and have got the scar on the neck.

I am undertaking research into the long-term after effects of radioactive iodine.  If you have had RAI in the past for thyroid disease and feel that symptoms you are experiencing now are a result of this treatment, please email me giving me the date of your RAI treatment and your current symptoms. 

Also if you wish to share any tips or useful information with other sufferers of thyroid disease, please either register on the forum here or visit the Thyroid Cancer Group site on Facebook.  Thank you.

This web site has been here for a couple of years now and so far has mostly my input. I've given details of my experience in the hope that it will help others.

In time I hope that others with cancer of the thyroid will offer their stories, experiences and tips so that we can create a source of help and reference for all those seeking it.

I'd like to build up the Tips section so that new sufferers can benefit from the things we learned the hard way.

Also it would great if the Q/A section can become a source of reference. Remember all the questions you wanted answered when you were first diagnosed?

There's also a forum for discussion on thyroid cancer-related topics. Please don't be put off by the signing in process, it's only there to stop the weirdos filling the forum up with junk.

Please email me and send me your input. Let's make this site into the one that we would have wanted to find when the cancer bombshell was dropped on us.
