My name is Patty and my husband had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer 10 yrs ago. He had his thyroid removed at that time. He went to all follow up appts/tests. We thought all was good and the thyroid cancer was behind us. In January of this year he was diagnosed with prostrate cancer. We opted for a second opinion for how to address the cancer through Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Everyone there was wonderful and so he opted to have his prostrate removed by a Mayo surgeon. Since the cancer had not spread past the prostate to any other parts of his body, we thought cancer was once again behind us. However, in June of this year, we discovered he had a large tumor behind his nasal area, which was cancerous and was determined to be non-Hodgkin lymphoma. When they did a PET scan, they also found (and later confirmed) cancerous thyroid tissue. Apparently when his thyroid had been removed 10 yrs ago (not at Mayo) they did not get all of the tissue. Brian is currently undergoing chemo treatments for the non-Hodgkin, but once that is done, a surgeon at Mayo will have to operate to remove the metastatic thyroid cancer. I know we are at the best place possible for care right now, but I am so scared that the cancer issues are never going to end.
