yes, i will.. thanks

not gettting much better,

we're running out of options

update this week after appointmeent

wait which thyroid cancer ? cause from what i remember from the university, the only type of thyroid cancer that is really scary is anaplastic, and that one is way less common in young people! so umm its probably papillary one, and thats literally the best case cancer in existence, the vast majority are cured and even if you wait with the surgery you can live for years so dont give up just yet !

appreciated, Julie was born with siliac disease? not sure how to say in english but basically it makes her immue system really weak so it doesnt help

celiac you mean ? well still...i mean im not a surgeon so idk much about how much risk it carries, but it shouldnt interfere with the treatment. on the other hand, celiac increases the risk of some other tumors that arent thyroid by origin but can appear there, so if you could tell me the histological type of the tumor, it might be helpful! hasnt any doctor there commented on this ?

well since im going to sleep soon, i will just write it here so you dont need me! basically the most common types by far, especially in young people, are papillary and follicular, they are (especially papillary) extremely treatable and pretty much just an annoyance, even in the last stage half of the patients survive over 5 years, and that last stage rarely happens in young people so if its either of those two, dont worry that much. anaplastic is a death sentence but i have never seen anyone under 50 that got it, im not really sure that even happens, but no way she got that one

now i do remember that celiac carries a risk of lymphomas, they arent thyroid by origin but can appear there, those really differ a lot based on their type, and that is the only one where i cant really give any prognosis, that one varies a lot between people, its not a joke like papillary is, but its still way more survivable than the anaplastic one, hard to say anything up front!

hope that helps, i wish luck to both of you !

oh one more thing: if she doesnt have any info on the type of tumor for whatever reason or is scared to do the biopsy, do your best to make her do it even if you have to chloroform her at her age there is a very high chance that the cancer is harmless to her, so dont despair even before you do the tests !

you're wonderful thank you, will update you later after speaking with her

i like to help people who deserve it ! i go sleep now and hope its all okay !
