Just because you...I have to disagree with you here. Just because you didn't have as rough a time with it doesn't mean others haven't. Also, the problem with the whole "thyroid cancer is the good cancer" line is that A) it's so wholly untrue as to be laughable and B) it is demeaning for a doctor to say as much to you, especially not knowing the extent of the disease.<br /><br />While it's true that most patients don't have to go through chemo and hair loss, some of us do. Also, it's a fully incurable cancer; once diagnosed, you will always be undergoing treatment. Technically, it's a terminal cancer. All terminal means is that you have it till you die, people just misunderstand it to mean "this will kill you." The fact of the matter is, most people don't actually die from cancer - any type - itself, but rather, from complications of the cancer. The same is true for thyroid cancer.<br /><br />Did you know that, because of the suppression therapy we undergo to try to keep the cancer from growing, we're also inviting a host of other issues? Like low bone density, heart disease and stroke risk. The RAI itself is known to cause leukemia, lymphoma and breast cancer.<br /><br />There is no good cancer. It doesn't exist. There is also no cure for cancer. Instead of beating one another up, we should supporting and helping one another.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904301548674112797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8747872826319322331.post-25969582311519211962012-01-28T13:25:07.128-08:002012-01-28T13:25:07.128-08:00I have thyroid cancer this is not what I think the...I have thyroid cancer this is not what I think they meant that they feel bad that they didnt have to go torough more.

I have seen you go through from diagnosis to surgery...to a second surgery, and all the while you hung onto life and all that is positive about it. You never held a pity party, and you are a wonderful example and inspiration to me. Thank you....my life is much richer because of you!

Especially when they haven't experienced it. I don't know how much you suffered with your cancer, but I wouldn't wish it on anyone and I'm glad you didn't have to suffer anymore than you did. I think your attitude makes a big difference and we all know you have a great attitude.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490307436039972879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8747872826319322331.post-74621679994494715282010-04-15T00:11:46.428-07:002010-04-15T00:11:46.428-07:00Yeah, you do have a good outlook.
