New here! My husband has Medullary Thyroid Cancer

Hi, I've just joined.

My husband was diagnosed with Medullary Thyroid Cancer 4 years ago. He's had a Total Thyroidectomy, 3 neck dissections, lost half a lung and had 6 weeks of radiotherapy on his neck. 

It's now started growing again, but this time in his pancreas, his liver and his chest. 

However he's still well and is hopefully going to qualify for a clinical drug trial soon.

That's it I think...so hello!

  • Hi my husband has just been diagnosed with this, how are things now? Would you be able to give me any advice?

  • A very warm welcome to the forum Tanyadog although I'm sorry to hear your husband has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer.

    I just wanted to let you know that this discussion hasn't been active in over 4 years and February21 hasn't been on the forum for a while either, so you may not hear back from them.

    I really hope that won't be the case but if you don't receive a reply then I'd suggest starting your own discussion about this as it will allow our more regular members to see your post and reply to you if they have any relevant experience or advice.

    Also, if you or your husband have any questions or concerns you'd like to discuss with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. 

    Kind regards,
