Eric,

I hope and pray for His Will for you and the entire family. If it is only in the thyroid, that is one organ that can be removed and hopefully, get all the cancer. I have Graves Disease which is a thyroid disease and have had 2 doses of radiation which now leaves me still with my thyroid, but, the entire organ is dead and I take meds everyday to supplement my system with what the thyroid was suppose to supply. This has been on going for over 30 years. There is a team out there trying to link thyroid cancer to those, like me, who have had radiation treatments leaving us with a dead organ inside us, but, they have never proved it and at the time of my thyroid problem, radiation treatments were what were advised. I pray that removal of the thyroid will also remove the cancer and let Gary move on with his life.

Thinking of you and your family.....
