There are different forms of thyroid cancer. All but a very few are treatable with surgery and radioactive iodine (I-131). Most prognosis are excellent, with 5 and 10 yr survivability rates in the +90% range. Talk to your doctor and ask, ask, ask, questions! Keep your chin up...nothing is without hope. :)
