Thyroid Cancer Group: Introduce yourself and connect with others
Thyroid Cancer | Last Active: 20 hours ago | Replies (139)Comment receiving replies
My husband has been diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer in one nodule only. The surgeon is going to remove the entire thyroid because he had genetic testing that indicated it may return after it's removed. He has mulitple myeloma as well and is under consolidation therapy for it at the present. He had induction therapy and then an autologous stem cell transplant. He is waiting to see when the thyroid cancer surgery will take place. I'm interested in learning more about the thyroid process, recovery, post treatment after the surgery, and other notes from others that had other cancers at the same time.

@mmm123, that must be a lot for both you and your husband to take in, having 2 cancers to deal with simultaneously.
If you also wish to connect with others living with multiple myeloma and stem cell transplant, you can also follow the discussions in the Blood Cancers & Disorders Support Group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/blood-cancers-disorders/). I think you might appreciate this discussion specifically.
