Welcome new members @mcmaya @tobyscott @wwbosworth and @koh to the Thyroid Cancer group.
Koh, glad to see you connected with others in the Hurthle Cell Carcinoma discussion https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-here-with-hurthle-cell-carcinoma/
Mcmaya, did you decide to get radioactive iodine again? Did you talk to your doctor about your concern in getting a secondary cancer?
TobyScott, how is your son doing on chemo and radiation? Are they able to see improvement (shrinkage of the mass) yet?
Hey Wendy, @mcmaya @vstormy @dho @botts are a few other members who have papillary thryroid cancer. With both Lynch and CHEK, do you stay on top of breast cancer and colon cancer screening?

I have a breast MRI every year, followed by a mammogram six months later. I’m having to fight Medicare to pay for the $2100 MRI. I get a colonoscopy every year and an endoscopy every other year. Thank you

Hi Colleen, he is seeing some decrease in the mass in his neck with first Keytruda immunotherapy, chemotherapy (4th one)and he is on his 12/35 radiation treatments. Today is a hard day as he can’t swallow anymore. He says its like swallowing razor blades and has stopped eating. Tomorrow he will have IV fluids and a feeding tube put in.
