I was just diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid Cancer - any advice?
Back in April, I posted my symptoms. My family doctor didn't think my symptoms were related to my thyroid, and prescribed 200 mg. of progesterone. I then started taking Selenium and my energy seemed to improve a little.
Now that I've had a biopsy, the Endocrinologist says it is definitely cancer and recommends thyroid surgery. Needless to say I am nervous. I have read articles that say thyroid cancer is over-diagnosed and over-treated. They seem to say that people die WITH thyroid cancer but most not FROM thyroid cancer. I am in my early 60's, and really do not want surgery. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
