I had papillary thyroid cancer, how long will I live?

The Doc — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 14:26:55 +0000

I read it on the internet that the prognosis for a person over 50 years old that had papillary thyroid cancer the size of a golf ball (which I had) could only live for 10 years or less. I would really like to know because I want to get my house in order. I am not afraid. So would somebody please tell me.

Did Turanoble fallout cause an increase in thyroid cancer for children living in the united states?

The Doc — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 14:24:50 +0000

When I was a child 10 years old I remember seeing on tv this major meltdown of a nucular power plant in russia called Turnoble. Some children my age had parents that told them to stop drinking milk In hopes that there child would avoid fallout that ended up in the grass that cow’s ate. I kept on drinking milk anyway. Now I am 31 and have to have my thyroid removed because of a hardened mass that has abnormal cells. Is this cancer? Is it caused by exposure to radiation? Do I have the meltdown of a nuclular power plant to blame for it?
