Hello everyone - I’m new to the group. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer last week following a hemi thyroidectamy in December. I’m awaiting further surgery and trying not to panic too much!
Hello everyone - this is my first post on my first ever forum. I had the second part of my thyroid removed in September - first being removed 13 years ago. They found the tumour to be cancerous - papillary carcinoma so I have just had radioactive iodine...
