Hello all
I joined the group today, after learning that my husband, age 47, possibly has Thyroid Cancer, and the bad kind.
As most cases Ive come across, this all appeared out of nothing. Regular check up that got him referred to an endo for non-thyroid related issues, ultrasound found nodules, more tests were done and his calcitonine turned up 14,6.
Next step is the calcium stimulation test tomorrow.
The doctor, usually very easy going, seemed worried and she already mentioned surgery and uttered the word "cancer" as a possibility.
Now we're left with a million question marks and worries.
Glad we found this board for guidance and mutual support.
All the best to all.
Hi and a warm welcome to the online community
I'm please to see that you've already found the thyroid cancer group and have received some support from the very knowledgeable people over there.
When you feel up to it, it would be really useful if could pop something about your husband's journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
