Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Hi Sylvia! Welcome to the group! In regard to your lifespan question, in general, it's my understanding that with the right treatment, you will more than likely die of something other than thyca. I had my TT back in 1990, and I'm still here! However, I'm definately not the longest survivor in this group - there's at least a few going back twenty if not more years!!! - Gayle North Salem, NY TT 1990 Currently hypo On Fri, 01 Mar 2002 17:40:06 +0000 " sylvia crook " wrote: > > Hi, > > My name is Sylvia and I've recently been diagnosed with thyroid > cancer and > subsequently had a total thyroidectomy, undergone some radioiodine > treatment, and am waiting to go back for more to determine whether it has > worked or not. > > I would just like some information about life span for people with this > condition, so far nobody seems to give me any information on longevity of > life. > > If anyone can help I would appreciate it. > > Many thanks > > Sylvia J Crook > > > Sylvia > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com > > > > For more information regarding thyroid cancer visit www.thyca.org. > If you do not wish to belong to this group, you may UNSUBSCRIBE by > sending a blank email to thyca-unsubscribe > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Hi Sylvia; typically thyroid cancer doesn't really affect lifespan. There are folks on this list who were diagnosed 20 or 30 years ago.. (OK folks, jump in here) barb > > Hi, > > My name is Sylvia and I've recently been diagnosed with thyroid cancer and > subsequently had a total thyroidectomy, undergone some radioiodine > treatment, and am waiting to go back for more to determine whether it has > worked or not. > > I would just like some information about life span for people with this > condition, so far nobody seems to give me any information on longevity of > life. > > If anyone can help I would appreciate it. > > Many thanks > > Sylvia J Crook > > > Sylvia > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to give me 30 RAI treatment to kill of the remaining piece with a follow up scan 7 days after treatment in 6 months go off meds. again do scan if anything left then I will have to do 100 or 150 of RAI .

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2002 Report Share Posted July 6, 2002 Welcome and congrats on the wt loss. Hugs, Hello Hello WLS group. My name is and I live in Ohio. I had surgery just a month ago on June 5th. So far so good. I have lost 50lbs and haven't had any major side affects up to this point. I'm still adjusting of course and I'm sure many of you could give me lots of advice for the road ahead. I had lots of problems pre-op with the doctor's office dropping the ball on procedures I was supposed to have. I almost didn't get to have surgery on the day it was scheduled. I <being nice now> was quite upset and being the straight forward go get em kind of guy I said a few choice words and screamed my way onto the operating table. I have done ok since then though and don't regret anything so far. I am looking forward to reading everyones succsesses and maybe I can help someone too.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2002 Report Share Posted July 8, 2002 Welcome Tami. The time will fly and it'll be here. Try and get your house in order, all your post-op foods purchased including protein drinks and vitamin supplements. Then after surgery, you can just concentrate on feeling better.

Try to keep busy, clean house, read posts, go shopping it will be here soon I will be praying for your smooth uncomplicated surgery and a speedy recover.
