tiamaria, Welcome back to the site. Sorry you had to revisit us, hopefully we can provide some answers. Most of the real pros with this disease are in Vegas at the first annual gathering of OCF members, so you may not hear from someone who can respond with good, in-depth information for you regarding thyroid issues. Sorry I can't help with that. I do know that SCC has a nasty habit of metastasizing (sp) to other parts of the body. Mine went from my tonsil to the lymph nodes before it was even detected, so it is possible yours traveled as well. Hopefully someone can give you a more definite answer.

To be honest with you, I don't worry very much about cancer coming back, if it does then I'll deal with it at that time. Worrying isn't going to affect whether it comes back or not so why worry? As a Christian, I leave it in God's hands and do what I have to do with the tools He gave me. If He calls me home, I know it will be better than this life, so I am in a no lose situation. And there isn't anything to worry about. So my suggestion is don't worry about it, just do what you have to do to treat it.

Also, make sure you have the best team of doctors involved with your treatment. Are you being treated at a major cancer center? I don't know the details of your medical system up there, but we have cancer centers down here that deal with nothing but cancer. The medical teams are as expert as you can find on the planet as they see cases just like yours hundreds of times. So if you have cancer centers up there, try to get treated in a cancer center if you are not already. Will pray for a good outcome to your thyroid issue.
