Thyroid cancer diagnosis after thyroidectomy

I have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I had a total thyroidectomy for graves disease (over active thyroid) and results came back showing cancer of 2cm. It has spread to lymph node so will now have lymph node removal (neck dissection) and RAI (once corona virus is over). Im so scared not knowing when treatment will start, not knowing how far it has spread and what stage it is at. How can I live my life normally waiting for the treatment to start.

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Katie although I'm sorry about your diagnosis.

    Many treatments for other members on the forum have also been affected by the coronavirus so I'm sure they will completely understand how you're feeling at the moment and will pop by soon to offer their support and advice.

    In the meantime, just try to take things one day at a time if you can and remember that our community are here for you at this uncertain time.
