Hi there - I don't think it really is... It may scare the crap out of her to come here despite the great support offered. Thyroid cancer is a different treatment process, and generally a very very curable cancer. My husbands cousin had it at 25, and she's fine now, they removed lymph nodes and then emplanted radiation seeds, or gave her pills, so she was actually radioactive. I don't believe the do rads and chemo for thyroid, though often they do surgery and a thyroidectomy. She's more than welcome to drop in of course, but I'm not sure how much support other than emotional she'll get. I haven't seen a thyroid cancer here... Sorry she has to go through this but tell her she should be fine, it really is very very curable - though as with any cancer the treatment sucks. hugs
