What kelly said. I'm alive even and will be even after getting cancer 3 x because I went to Comprehensive Cancer Center.
One bit of practical advice: get yourself a blood test right now to measure your TSH hormone level. You will want the exact number of the TSH so that after treatment, you can compare the TSH levels. The thyroid lab ranges are so large as to be meaningless for an individual (0.40 to 5.00) If you do not have you TSH number now, then you won't be able to get it back to where it needs to be. Maybe you will be lucky and not need thyroid medication but without a pre-treatment number, you will not be able to know. Do not think your oncologist knows what they are talking about in this area. Sad to say, they don't. Word to the wise.
