Re: Please let me know what you think i should do next

cancer is not cancer is not cancer.

You are trying to compare dogs and snakes, not even dogs vs cats or apples vs oranges. What may work for one type of thyroid cancer would not in all likelihood work vs breast cancer or lung cancer.

Did someone diagnose you with thyroid cancer and I missed the post?


Before you start treating, wouldn't it make sense to know what you are trying to treat?How about sending your pathology specimens to MDAnderson or Stanford or Memorial Sloane Kettering for a second opinion to be sure what you are dealing with. Perhaps they can identify some targets.

If there are sodium-iodide symporter receptors on your tumor, there may even be treatment with radioactive iodine. But before going way out on a limb...

why not take a deep breath and take the time to discover what it is and where it is so you can make the best judgement as to how to proceed.

Hope this helped!
