Hi all My children are 12 and 10 and were that age when I was diagnosed. I told them about the cancer from the start. They asked lots of questions which I...
Hi Sarah Just wanted to know what the vitamin B17 is for, I havent read anything about it. With regards to telling the children, as has been said in previous...
All the posts i have read seem to suggest that when you have all had your RAI dose...it has been followed by a clear scan...does that mean the dose totally...
I feel exactly the same as you Karen...if i had been diagnosed now i would tell my 'soon to be' 10 year old that i had cancer. I also think (and hopefully this...
Hi whoever is out there! This is my first e-mail to the group. I don't know anyone else who has thyroid cancer or recovered from it so I am hoping to find...
Hi I agree, telling children is a very personal thing. With regards to vitamin b17, I have read that it has done great things for 'curing' cancers but as I...
I had my first RAI in May, my scan showed a high uptake and my consultant was disappointed that it worked so poorly, I am due my next RAI in November. Sarah x...
Hi Jan...welcome to the site. You have certainly come to the right place for help and support! I have not been a member that long but have found the site...
Apparently Vitamin B17 has curative properties. You can't buy it in the shops but there is lots of info on the internet and you can buy online. Sarah x...
Good luck with the second RAI Sarah...i hope this blast will get everything for you. Did your consultant tell you straight after the scan that you should have...
Hi Jan Welcome to the group hope you will find it of some help. It is nearly 2
years since I had half my thyroid gland removed due to a large nodule
pressing...
Yes, she told me straight after that I'd need another dose. I'm hoping that it will just be the two, apparently my tumour was very large and that was a major...
Hi Janice I was diagnosed last year in August - had two swellings on my thyroid and needle biopsy showed papillary cancer cells. Had a total thyroidectomy at...
Hi Judith Remember I was worried about the fact I had only had RAI once? I had my check up with the Oncologist at Ninewells, Dundee, last Wednesday and he said...
Hi Laura I'm also being treated at ninewells and wondered if you wanted to compare notes! I think I sent you an email earlier to that effect! Let me know if...
Hi Laura, ... I'm delighted for you that you don't need any more RAI! You must be very relieved. Hope you are going to do something nice to celebrate! I'm...
Hi everyone, Had my appointment at Addenbrookes yesterday, and got pretty much the news I'd been expecting after hearing last week that my tg was 0.7 I'm due...
Just in case you haven't seen it....................No real surprise if you use the US Group http://apnews.excite.com/article/20060906/D8JVGV6O6.html Lesley...
Hi Lorraine, sorry to hear you'll need another dose of RAI, I can imagine how you feel. I too had a false negative scan last year. I don't know what my tg ...
Hi Lorraine, I think you're entitled to a rant, it's very annoying when your medical people don't get it quite right.......... I haven't had to deal with your...
Hi Karen, Thanks for the reply. It doesn't seem long since you posted about your ultrasound and neck dissection - hope you're doing ok. The tg test has been...
Thanks for that Lesley, That's quite a scary increase isn't it? They must surely have SOME ideas why there's such a steady increase in thyroid cancer? I'd love...
Hi Jan, Belated welcome from me as well. I had papillary thyroid cancer with several affected lymph nodes too, it was discovered in 1965 and I last had...
Hello to all of you. My friend was diagnosed last year and is still undergoing treatment. Apart from the obvious can anyone offer advice about the best way...
Hi Sal, Well, mostly what i wanted from my friends was to know that they were there for me. Sometimes to moan to and sometimes just to be normal with. Does she...
Hi Sal, Wish we all had friends like you! Having our friends make time for us, just listening and letting us vent without feeling guilty can work wonders....
