Thyroid cancer survivor

Hi

I am new to this chat. I had Thyriod cancer nearly 20 years ago. It was the most scary time of my life, but also the most life affirming too. 
I didn't get to talk about it much and feel it would have helped, so I wanted to come here and talk with anyone who going through it now or has been through it and wants to talk about if they feel it will help.

    Hello Jasper1502 and a big welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    It's lovely to hear from a thyroid cancer survivor 20 years after diagnosis - your experience will be invaluable to others who are currently going through exactly what you experienced nearly 20 years ago.  I can imagine it was a scary time for you and a time when you probably felt alone with no one to talk to who had had a similar diagnosis. There was no Cancer Chat forum too for you to connect to others at the time!

    I will certainly bear your message in mind if I see any member of our community who is looking to talk to someone, like you, who has had successful thyroid cancer treatment. I am sure that they will be grateful for your tips and suggestions and that your story will be inspirational to many.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to come here and share your story. We are so pleased you are doing so well 20 years on. 

    Best wishes, 

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
