Welcome, @kwerner. I've added your discussion to the Autism, Caregivers and Thyroid Cancer support groups to connect you with people I know can be supportive and helpful as you and your daughter navigate these new waters.

In addition to the helpful post from @tricot, allow me to introduce you to @gingerw and @auntieoakley who live as adults familiar with autism and managing a cancer diagnosis. They have also walked as caregivers to loved ones. @koh @bfrank @lbrockme know what it is like to live with thyroid cancer, treatments, side effects and more.

Kwerner, it's so hard to feel at a loss to help someone you love. Can you share a bit more about the side effects of chemo that you're daughter is experiencing? What emotions are challenging to comfort?
