It's not that the OCF site is so scary IMO although thyroid cancer has good survival rates with less complications than our cancer. You'd be better off referring her to the rest of the ACS workup on their website
Thyroid cancer survival by type and stage

From my experience with two thryoid cancer patients, their issues did not have much in common with mine, so a lot of the advice here would not be relevant.
