Okay
Nothing we can do about that now. Are they planning on doing surgery? May want to start with one thing and see how it goes. A lot of time the surgeon or endocrinologist (recommend one if you don't have) will direct you to the best treatment I'd recommend asking further questions of the repeated treatments after the 98% procedure completed and more is known Feel free to drop me a note at any time FYI: another hypothetical patient just underwent melanoma surgical treatment with a 98% cure rate. No current additional therapy available. Not sure I would take anything else though  Previous Message
But I suppose they could have had a thyroidectomy and some lymph nodes removed 10 years ago by a surgeon who wasn't too aggressive in chasing them down.
