Guest guest Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hi. I've been diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid Cancer. I have a single lump on one side-- the doctor found no trace in my lymph nodes. I've had the lump since at least the mid 90s. In 1999 it was biopsied and diagnosed as Hurthle Cell. It has not grown at all since 1999. Nevertheless since it's now known to be cancer, the doctors at UCLA want an entire thyroidectomy and Radioactive Iodine treatment. I've read of other doctors who feel that low-risk patients like myself can live with Thyroid cancer their whole lives or could just get the lobe with the lump taken out. (or even better- just the lump!) Does anybody here know of a doctor in the US or Mexico willing to go this route? I have gone on anti-parasite and other cleanses since hearing the news, and would not avoid surgery without also actively pursuing alternative therapies. I'm also interested in any other concurrent therapies that have been successful. Thank you!! Kindred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
