I have been diagnosed with PTC, recently undergone surgery to remove my thyroid and neck dissection.  

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community. I do hope you're making good progress after your surgery and are healing well.

    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 can see you've joined our Thyroid cancer and I'm sure the members will be along soon to say "Hi" and chat. Read through some of the posts and just click on reply to chat to people or start a new thread yourself. No question is ever deemed silly or irrelevant, we need all the support we can get at times like these. 

    It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and your journey to date. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions. It also means that you don't have to keep writing the same thing over and over. You can amend or update it at any time. 

    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
