Dedifferatiated papilary cancer

by Jalder, Jul 17, 2008 10:25PM
Does anyone have any experience with dedifferentiated papilary cancer?  It appears this is what has happened to me therefore I am told I131 will no longer be effective.  I know throid cancers do not respond to traditional chemotherepy and rarely to external beam radiation - does anyone know of any other treatment?  I fear that my end may be in sight!

I do hope you get more answers here.  I don't want to jump to give you knowledge I'm not sure of, but do want to jump to give you support.

Has the dr given any information on what other treatments there are?

I know it can be fearful to think about things but please don't let your mind go there.  We won't go letting you do that!  And we are here for you.

From your profile, you sound like a strong person and a true champion.

Keep sharing.
