My mom went through Thyroid Cancer, She was very scared but in the end it ended up being fine, She had her thyroid and some lymph nodes removed (Luckily its slow spreading because she first felt the lump when she was pregnant with my little sister who was 22 at the time she was diagnosed and the Dr. thought nothing of it.) She had one treatment of Radiation and has 4 yearly checkups that have given her a clean bill of health. Regardless its a scary thing, Your in my prayers!
