A member asked:
Second bout of cancer. several years ago in gall bladder and now thyroid. it was removed and he's (58 years old) is now radiation pill. survival rate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
D/w your oncologist: Survival for cancer will depend on diffferent things like the stage, type of cancer ( biology of cancer), your overall health condition, treatment received, response of treatment etc.Now, i doubt that the cancer in the gallbladder is directly connected to the thyroid- thus these are two separate occurences. Prognosis of follicular/papillary is good if surgically resected w/negative margin.D/w md.
