Thanks for the replies. August, I also was told I had nodules on my thyroid when I was about 34yrs. old. Did the radioactive scan, and I was told mine was "cold nodules". Had this done two yrs. in a row.
They didn't do anything further, but told me to watch for an enlarged thyroid. Nothing showed up on the pet scan I was given this yr. when I found out I had SCC. They did these treatments also in the 40's I have read. And yes, Brian, I did have this done in 1964. Maybe we're a little behind the times back here in "smalltown PA". Thanks for the sites,I will definetly be looking at these. I was just curious if anyone else out there with head and neck cancer had this done as a child. Don't you think it's odd that we can't get any records of this being done to us?? Maybe the doctor's took it to their graves.... It's a very interesting subject to me. Again thanks for the replies..
