My husband has just been diagnosed with metastatic thyroid cancer (I think that's what the doctor called it). Anybody know what that is? Surgery is scheduled for next month; the surgeon mentioned "thyroidectomy", but we have no idea how much he will be removing. He also scheduled a left neck dissection -- anybody know what that's like? Also, we live in Buffalo, NY and the surgeon is at Roswell - has anybody been treated there? How was it, as a hospital? Does anybody know how we get information from the doctors? (He's only there one day a week, they told us, except for when he's in surgery.)
