Hi mojoxjojo. I’d like to offer you a warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community. I’m sorry to read about your diagnosis but you’ve come to the right place to talk to other people who are in the same situation and help you get through this. I do know how difficult it is to get your head around this bombshell but it's important to involve your family and talk to them about how you're feeling. 

My cancer is different, but a cancer diagnosis of any kind makes us ask lots of questions, causes confusion, stress and probably emotions we’ve never experienced before.  I see you’ve joined our Thyroid cancer group, this will be a good place to connect with others making the same type of cancer journey. 

To find more information covering diagnosis and treatments there are pages covering most types of cancers which can be found on our Online Information and Support Section. 

The Macmillan Support Services also offer lots of information, support, financial guidance or just someone to listen. It’s free to call 0808 808 0000. Most services are available 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. Have a look by Clicking here to see what is available and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two to three working days for replies from our expert team.

Sending you welcoming hugs B xx

thank you b xx

Hi mojoxjojo

I am sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer.  It can be quite a shock just hearing the "C' word.  I have had papillary thyroid cancer twice in the last 3 years, and I can assure you that my treatment was very easy to recover from and i was back to my old self in no time on both occasions.  I could not have done this without the support of my family.  No one would ever think that you are not strong enough, maybe you are still in shock.  A problem shared is generally a problem halved...... if you have any questions I will try and help.
