My wife just had a lump removed from her throat (thyroid), which was
believed to be a benign cyst, but it actually turned out to be
cancerous. We are just waiting to see an Oncologist to see what the
treatment will be going forward. My wife had what was described as a "
Minimally invasive follicular carcenoma "
Questions:
I
would like to have a chat to anyone who's had the same treatment. We've
been told my wife (Tracy) may need the other side of the thyroid out,
and radioactive iodine treatment
How long does it normally take to get yor energy levels back after and operation?
The
specialist said that the long term prognosis is good for this type of
cancer. What does that mean? Does it mean that with some further
treatment my wife could be fully cured, or that her life will just be
prolonged?
I am remaining positive about it all, but we are in the early stages, and its all freaking me out a bit at the moment.
