Don't have this particular problem but I have a friend that did. She is thriving and doing well. She's been able to do great on replacement therapy and hasn't had many significant setbacks. I hear that is one of the more treatable forms of cancer and that quality of life and survival rates are very high. Hope all goes well with you!!

Hi LuFoggy,
When did you have surgery? I just had my left lobe and ithimus removed last Thursday. I'm waiting on the final results from path. If it's cancer then I go for a second surgery and radiation treatment. Have you had radiation? There is a thyca.org site that has many cancer survivors with great help on health issues. What are some of your fibro symptoms and how did you get diagnosed, if you don't mind my asking. I've felt like I have more than just the Hashi's (and possible cancer) and I'm not sure how to pursue. I've been hypo, then hashi's, and had 11 nodules in both the left and right lobes. The left came back cold with possible Warthin's Variant and I just got past the surgery. I'm feeling sore and stiff on my neck, but I'm on pain meds right now. Let us know a little more about your symptoms. I will pray for you and hope you get answers or at least a path to take.

Maria

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
