I am a 5 yr survivor of Thyroid cancer. I had my thyroid removed and also a lymph node. Mine wasn't an easy case, it spread to my lymph nodes, and i was told if it wasn't found when it was I would have been dead in a year. It was a fluke they found it. But, I am cancer free now and I do have to go for scans yearly, and I do and will take medicine for the rest of my life. But I am functioning. It is scary, but the rates are very good for thyroid cancer survival! I did have the radiation therapy after to kill the rest of the cells as well. A downside, I have NO metabolism now and I gain weight easily and have a hard time losing it. And for me, I can't get my levels right. But otherwise, things are going well. Tell your sister good luck! I hope all went well with the surgery!
