    very sorry to hear that. at the hospital where i used to work, i managed the use of radiation, we did a lot of thyroid cases. depending on the type of cancer, 2 basic types 1 was very agressive but luckily it is not common. the other, which is most common, is very treatable using surgery and I-131 radiation thyroid ablation treatment. i don't know the exact number, but cure rates were above 90%. so take heart, fight this and get all the info you can. make sure you ask about the ablation treatment not every hospital is set up to use this treatment. PM me if you want more info.
