Hello, my only DD was diagnosed 11 years ago. She had surgery and they told her it was benign. Went back 3 weeks later to have stitches removed and they told her there was an error in diagnosis. She had treatment for a year and then they went and operated again and removed the thyroid. Praise the Lord, she has been cancer free for 10 years. Our best wishes to you. The doctor (at the #3 cancer hospital in the country) told us, "If you have cancer, this is the least invasive and least aggressive cancer there is." You will have to take thyroid medication for the rest of your life, but it is worth it and life is good. GOD Bless
