Hi guys, I was wondering if any one has gone through the process of buying a house when they've yet to be in remission? I am currently waiting for my mortgage to be accepted on a property, I am a first time buyer and have been advised to set up life...
Hi, I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule in October 2023 (U3/thy1c). After 2 biopsies they confirmed it was benign but told me to monitor and go back if it grew. I went back in February 2025 as I felt it had grown and they confirmed it had. I had...

Hi there, I have had a total thyroidectomy due to a cancer diagnosis. I'm wondering what the risk of reoccurrence could be now that I don't have a thyroid? Do I really need to go through RAI? I'm worried about secondary cancers and it doing more damage...
