@meghansa65 my daughter (in her mid forties) was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer and had surgery about a month ago to remove her entire thyroid. She is doing well. She will need to be under the regular care of an endocrinologist.

The good news is, we have heard that thyroid cancer is one of the most treatable of cancers, and the prognosis is good. We know, and know of, others who have been living with this cancer for as long as twenty years or more, which gives us hope for our daughter.
