    In most cases, thyroid cancer grows very slowly. So, while it’s always best to treat cancer as soon as possible, a delay of a few weeks is probably unlikely to make an overall difference.

    However the best person to ask about this would be your specialist as they will know the type and extent of your thyroid cancer and will be better placed to advise you further.

    I hope this helps. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
