thyroid cancer

[Guest guest]

It does not sound like anythimg very serious to me.  Papillary thyroid cancer is

generally very treatable.  A small surgery and radioiodine thrapy should clean

it out.  While anaplastic can occur from a reoccurance of any thyroid cancer,

monitoring can prevent that.  I was diagnosed with metastic hurhe cell carcinoma

and unfortunate iy doed noy uptake radioiodine so I am pretty screwed, but I

have learned a lot about thyroid cancer on my journey.  I know a cancer

diagnosis is scary, but take a deep breath, you're going to be okay.

I was diagnosed with Papillary thyroid cancer and multinodular thyroid goiter

after having a fine needle aspiration biopsy. My thyroglobulin and

thyroperoxidase levels are ALL normal as well as my T3, T4 and TSH, could this

mean that it's not papillary carcinoma because PTC usually elevates the

Thyroglobulin and Thyroperoxidase levels? I am really frightened and worried

because I read that Papillary Carcinoma can turn into Anaplastic cancer if it's

not treated. I had these tumors back in 2004 and my doctor never wanted to

biopsy them because they were only 5mm and now they're 11mm in size.

Hi ,

Thanks for responding to me regarding my PTC. I was told that anaplastic thyroid

cancer can occur if the Papillary Thyroid cancer is left untreated for a long

time. I think I may have had this since 2004 but I don't know if it was

cancerous back then, the tumor has doubled in size from 5 mm to 10 mm, within

five years. The doctors are the one's that are scareing me because they're

telling me to hurry and have the surgery because Papillary Carcinoma usually

throws off Thyroglobulin and thyroperoxidase and my blood levels are all normal,

which could indicate that there could be different cells inside the nodules and

they won't know until the tumor is removed.

My surgeon is telling me the reason why my levels are all normal is because it's

not in my lymph nodes, which is a great thing.I'm scheduled to have a lobectomy

in 2 months.

Why can't they try to shrink my tumor without surgery by taking I131? Is there

any other option? Can anything other than surgery help to get rid of this

cancerous tumor in my right lobe?

Thanks, a

Hi! I'm not a doctor, but having thyroid cancer and doing lots of research -

surgery is much better option vs radio iodine. Despite of the most popular

statement that this iodine is not harmful, it is. There is a risk of developing

secondary primary cancer, and the risk goes up with higher dosage of RAI. You

will need higher dose do burn the whole thyroid vs burning the remnants left

after surgery. If you are so afraid of reccurence, you might want to take the

whole thyroid out and then have smaller dose RAI ablation. It is the standard

procedure. I actually have a hard time to find someone to do just lobectomy

instead of total removal in a case of cancer.

There is a thyca forum for those on standard cancer treatment.

Hi Kindred! The tumor that you both kept from growing - thyroid? What did you

do? You have yours for 10 years? Do you know it did not spread anywhere? I have

a friend who is opting for no surgery and I would like to let her know too.

I also found a lot of research on papillary thyca treatments and they all advise

on lobectomy and no RAI for the low risk group.

Thank you!

and was extremely upset about the fact that I would have to quarantine myself

from my baby during the radioactive iodine treatment-- and also that I would

have to go off of the thyroid medication for up to a week prior since I have a

history of depression. I delved into the online research literature (there's a

great Canadian site that has a database of primary literature you can search).

What I found was about 5 studies that found no statistical difference in cancer

recurrence in people with tumors under 2 cm between folks who got the RAI versos

those who didn't. In fact, all of the studies that I found that compared cancer

recurrence in RAI vs non RAI patients recommended limiting RAI use to the higher

risk patients. The main benefit to the RAI ablation seems to be diagnostic

because it is easier to do a body scan later. I'm about to get a second

opinion at City of Hope hospital in Pasadena to see what they say. I'll keep

you posted. By the way, there's also a website: thyroidectomy.com for a surgen

who performs low-scar surgeries in Iowa and I know they don't give routine RAI

ablation. Regarding natural methods I have made online friends with a girl who

opted for no surgery (as did I 10 years ago). She and I both kept our tumors

from growing using natural methods so it's possible. She actually shrunk hers

but it comes and goes and she has to really stay on it.

Mine was diagnosed as Hurthle Cell in 1999 and was not clearly cancerous. Every

doctor I talked to recommended lobectomy (with full removal if it turned out to

be cancer) but i decided to wait and watch it instead. I delved into Hulda

's book (among others) and followed nearly all of her advice. I also

changed my life and moved to Europe for 2 years and followed my lifelong dream

of becoming an artist. 10 years passed and the tumor neither shrunk nor grew--

(I got an ultrasound from time to time and would trick the internist into

telling me how big it was so I could walk out without having to go through a

fight with the doctors again.) Anyway, even though it never grew, my latest

primary care doctor had been nagging me for years to get another biopsy so I did

and it was found to be Papillary cancer. (note that I've fallen off most of the

alternative therapies I was on and am back to a hectic non-artist life again--

amazing how we do that to ourselves!) I'm now considering surgery if only

because I'm not sure how much I want to alter my life right now to try and

shrink it. I'm now a full time working mom and as much as I want to quit my job

it makes sense to stay at it at least one more year. I met a doctor in LA who's

willing to work with me alternatively and wait for a year but I'm also not sure

how much money I want to spend on it. I'm hoping to find a surgeon willing to

do only lobectomy or at LEAST forego the RAI since I am still going to pursue

alternative prevention.

Hi Kindred,

 

What protocol are you using? I also had pappillary thyroid cancer 3 years ago. I

tried alternative medicine for 2 months and my tmuor didn't grow but I was

scared and had the surgery and RAI. It's 3 years later and my thyroglobulin

counts are still not low enough but they can't find any tumors. I haven't been

very good about my diet over the last year. I'd love to hear some more options

on how to keep healthy. I do have a friend at work whose sister was successful

in shrinking her cancer completely using the Gerson method. It's quite intensive

and she also started incorporating spirituality. She was previously not

religous. She was on the program for 2 years and kept working the whole time.

She went to a less restrictive but still healthy diet after 2 years and has been

cancer free for something like 5 years.

Hi Theresa! Here is some info on tests for people with thyca and who have

increasing tg and negative WBS:

She had 3 RAI and still Tg was up. She attacked it by detox/iodine/gluten-free

diet.

I just did Hulda 's method of cleansing and reducing exposure to toxins.

Like I said, though, I've fallen off of most of it in the last couple of years

and only picked it up again after my recent diagnosis. I saw a doctor (Dr.

Magami) at City of Hope today and basically she said I should save my money and

go to the cheaper doctor in my HMO. She was a wonderful doctor though if

anybody needs a good thyroid surgeon. She was so cool-- I wanted to stick

around and have dinner with her! Her assistant even confided in me about how

all the cancer research is funded by pharmaceutical companies and that's why

there's no attention paid to non-drug related cures. She even asked me how I

did my liver cleanse (that cured my dust allergies for 6 months every time I did

it. The allergy doctor at UCLA could give a rat's ass when I told her that).

VERY impressed with City of Hope-- even if they still follow the normal

protocols in the end. At least they expressed respect for alternative

treatments and didn't make you feel like a sucker.

How was the operation and RAI for you? Do you feel better than you did before?

How often do they test your thyroglobulin levels? I'm feeling inclined to get

the operation myself even though it seems like they do as much monitoring after

surgery as they would if you didn't get it in the first place.

Inspiring story about your friend's sister. I'll have to look into Gerson.

Regarding spirituality, I admit that this has been a big component of my

personal protocol too. I'm a Course in Miracles devotee myself.

Thanks for the blog site Katerinka! My mom was just mentioning iodine as a

treatment, saying it was also a preventitive for breast cancer. They were

considering a third RAI for me but my endocronoligist sent me to MD

instead of trying something that failed in the past. I live in houston so its

down the street. They have some alternatives like heat therapy and freezing the

nodes, if you find any. So far, we are just monitoring my progress. I am

planning on starting to take iodine this week.

Hi Theresa,

Did you already have your thyroid removed? If not, are you receiving RAI to kill

the tumor and surrounding cells? What type of TC do you have? I heard the MD

Center is a great Hospital. I was diagnosed with PTC in February, my tumor is

slightly under 1 cm. All of my blood work came back normal and the ultrasound is

also normal. I would love to know about the heat therapy and freezing the nodes

and what it's used for.

Thanks,

This is my first post to the group. I was dx'd with thyroid cancer almost 10

years ago. I had my thyroid removed " just to be sure " when there was no dx of

cancer. It turned out to be thyroid cancer - or so they said. I was so naive

back then. But I have healed from cancer naturally after 3 failed attempts on

the doctors part to " cure me " . My story is on my blog on my website

www.naturalthyroidchoices.com

Unfortunately it is common and many have it removed and then find out it wasn't

cancer and then go through the hell of trying to get their lives back. Living

without a thyroid is not easy. For those of us who found life with desiccated

thyroid over synthetic the last year has been very difficult with shortages and

recalls.

I would avoid removal at all costs knowing what I know now. I have a friend

that healed from 3 forms of thyroid cancer using the same protocol I did. I now

run an Iodine group - the nutrient that healed me. The link for that is on my

website as well. Iodine helps with many cancers - our research site is

www.iodine4health.com

If you run into this woman again. Tell her to think twice. It isn't as easy as

the doctor says. You will die without thyroid hormone. I feel vulnerable. My

life hangs in the balance of one little pill.

Hi,

I met a woman today who is scheduled to have her thyroid taken out. I

asked if she had cancer and she said that some suspicious growths on the cat

scan showed up. They don't know if it's cancer and they are removing her

Hi ,

Welcome to the world of the biggest moneymaking scheme. While

therapeutical Iodine supplementation for a few months along with

selenium would stand an excellent chance of rectifying the problem and

daily iodine after that from recurrence, they cut the thyroid out

creating a hormone pill junkie out of a person.

The woman in question would do herself great service if she at least

postponed the operation for a few weeks to give her time to research the

issue.

Even if it were cancer, the first line of defense in the orthodox books

should be a radioactive iodine treatment, as lousy as this proposition

is.

Find the facts, before you allow yourself and your dear ones to be

derailed.

With kind regards, Slavek.

If you are fighting active cancer then you should consider levels of 50 -100 mgs

/ day. I take 100 mgs. Please check out the companion nutrients that are

needed with the iodine (Se, Mg, Vit C, Celtic Salt) - located on my website at

www.naturalthyroidchoice.com You can find out more about the usage of iodine

with breast cancer at www.breastcancerchoices.org This group is owned by my

friend Lynne.

I would recommend getting an Iodine Loading Test with Bromide Levels to see how

you are doing right now. You can order it w/o a doctor. www.hakalalabs.com is

where you can order it.

With any thyroid issue, suspect mercury leaching from amalgams. A major study

was done in Canada on sheep where they put in mercury amalgam fillings with

radioactive tracers. They then looked to see where the mercury went. THe

thyroid was one of the areas to accumulate a lot of the mercury. Maybe you can

ask the lady you met about this. Heavy metals were a major factor with my

lymphoma (got white blood cell count to go to normal and percent cancerous cells

to go from 70% to less than 5% by addressing them). I also was hypothyroid and

required medication. A year after getting my amalgams taken out safely, i no

longer required mediciation to have normal T3, T4 and TSH hormone levels.

Additional examples are my biological dentist who has thyroid cancer and

attributes it to the tons of mercury she was exposed to. She has been battling

it naturally with a lot of success.

Finally, my wife has Hashimotos (autoimmune disease of the thyroid) and is

hypothyroid. She wasnt a believer that her 11 amalgams could be related until

we were talking one day. She has 3 sisters (similar genes). We knew some of

them were hypothyroid as well but couldnt recall. I bet her that the one sister

who didnt have amalgams was not hypothyroid. She called each one and found out

I was correct - the one sister out of four, who didnt have amalgams, was the

only one who was not hypothyroid. My wife just finished having hers taken out

safely. TIme will tell if her Hashimoto's diseases and hypothyroidism go away.

You need Iodine.  Join the iodine group.  Many people there have dealt

with thyroid cancers.  They are wealth of information.  Also get the book

" Iodine you can't live without it "

 

Has your doctor done any thyroid blood wook to check out your thyroid levels and

antibodies?

 

[Guest guest]

YES!!! IODINE!!! Thyroid cancer comes from toxicity and a lack of nutrients

like iodine, selenium, sodium and Vit C. I have a friend dx'd with 3 forms of

thyca and given 4 mos to live that beat it w/o surgery or RAI.

I wish I would have known what I do now. I had a thyroidectomy and THREE failed

RAI treatments. Iodine and detoxing is what saved my life. I run the

Iodine group with over 3,700 members. You can check out my website at

www.naturalthyroidchoices.com and read my entire story. Please also consider

getting Dr. Brownstein's books Iodine Why you Need It Why You Can't Live Without

It. As well as Overcoming Thyroid Disorders www.drbrownstein.com

The iodine protocol is on my website but for cancer we are seeing better results

when really pushing it to tolerance. A friend (different one) of mine took 200

mgs of Iodoral / day. You want the Lugol's formula in liquid or Iodoral

tablets. www.breastcancerchoices.org sells it.

If I would have known what I do now I would have NEVER EVER removed my gland nor

would I have done RAI.

Hi,

I had a biopsy on my throat after having two tiny little growths on the sides

of the throat. I've had them for about 6 years. I've seen doctors and they all

said that it's nothing. A few months ago I had to do a CT on my neck regarding a

slipped disk and they recommended that I check it out with a Nose Ear and Throat

Dr. The doctor looked in side my throat and checked me out and said that

everything is fine and nothing to worry about. He said he does not know what it

was so he suggested that when I get a chance I should go do a biopsy, just so I

would feel calmer. I did and it came back positive for possibly Thyroid Cancer.

The Dr. wanted to cut me open within a week. I told him that I need time to

think about the whole thing plus to research all my option. He said that I have

no choice and I need to have my Thyroids taken out and then of course the rest

of the treatment.

Are there any other options out there for Thyroid Cancer?

Thank you in advance!

There are alternative options for all cancer. You need to do the research to

find the best option for you. There are many alternative cancer sites that you

can visit and get information. Some to start with are

no choice and I need to have my Thyroids taken out and then of course the rest

of the treatment.

Are there any other options out there for Thyroid Cancer?

Thank you in advance!

Dear users, each type of cancer can b controlled by changing life style, diet

that is suitable for cancer patients, i surveyed sites available on internet

that gives me a little bit knowledge.. Avoid taking meat , taking solid food ,

take ur food in a liquid form, dont take any food that can cause irritation.

Herbs fagonia arabica , turmeric, garlic n curcumin , has good effect in cancer.

Dr. The doctor looked in side my throat and checked me out and said that

everything is fine and nothing to worry about. He said he does not know what it

was so he suggested that when I get a chance I should go do a biopsy, just so I

would feel calmer. I did and it came back positive for possibly Thyroid Cancer.

I'd like to add that once you've researched your options, run your decisions by

us in these groups. Each of us has different experience with different

treatments, some more successful than others. I know that if I was diagnosed

with Thyroid Cancer, I would do everything I could to keep my thyroid and to

restore it to health. I met a lady who cured her thyroid cancer with diet alone.

This is not to say you do this.  But diet is important. You also may want to

look into iodine groups on . I think this may have already been suggest to

you.

Best!

While everyone is correct that iodine is Key to reversing thyroid disorders, do

not forget that many thyroid issues such as my wife's Hashimoto's or my

dentist's thyroid cancer are also due to mercury. In my dentist's case it was

due to years of exposure putting in and drilling out of silver fillings which

are 52% mercury. In my wife's case, the jury is still out if we can reverse her

Hashimoto's. She recently got her silver fillings removed " safely " by a

biological dentist (a must). But consider the following, she is one of 4

sisters. Three of them have silver fillings, one does not. Three of them are

hypothyroid, one is not. You get the picture.

Mercury was a major factor in my own lymphoma.

Here are some links on thyroid and mercury:

So if you have any " silver " fillings, or have been exposed to a lot of mercury

due to excessive fish consumption, broken CFL light bulbs (have mercury in them

- will not come in my house), thimerosol in vaccinations, etc, I would also

consider mercury as a factor in any thyroid cancer.

Thank you for your reply and advice. Where can I have my fillings removed? How

much does it cost? And what about the cavity in the tooth?Thanks Steve

, I'm currently using 200mg ioderal per day. And I did have Graves

Disease (no RAI). Went euthyroid in summer '06 and for about the past year,

have been using Armour to combat what is now hyPOthyroidism. I have a loading

test sitting here that I need to take, but Dr Flechas suspected, a while back,

that I had a symporter defect, which is why/when he upped me to 200mg/day.

Are you taking Vit C and ATP CoFactors for that symporter issue? Are you

testing Bromide with that Loading Test. I will also tell you that if Dr.

Flechas has not changed his prices recently his testing has been higher than

that of Hakala Labs www.hakalalabs.com You do not need a doctor to order it. I

would highly recommend testing the bromide as I am seeing very high levels in

cancer / autoimmune patients.
