Thyroid cancer: First find out what"kind" it is -- papillary is less aggressive than medullary. Then seek out an excellent neck surgeon for total thyroidectomy. If they discover spread into lymph nodes you may have to have radiation after thyroid is removed. Seek out a major center with multiple specialists including surgeon, radiation oncologist, endocrinologist.
