My sister-in-law just went through thyroid cancer treatment. The surgery went well, and although she had a few weeks of feeling very sluggish until she could begin her synthetic thyroid, she had no problems and is feeling totally fine. Her doctors told her that her survival rate is the same as someone who did not have thyroid cancer smile This is a GOOD THING!
We wish you the best.
