In the summer of 06 my husband was diagnosed w/cancer. It took the doctors 6 months to find out exactly what kind of cancer he has. He was diagnosed w/Medullary Thyroid Cancer. He's had two major surgeries which the first they basically removed his right side of hte neck. They removed the major artery and all the lymph nodes and some muscles and nerves. He cant raise his right arm straight up but he can still move it. ON the left side they removed some of the lymph nodes and a piece of his left vocal cord. He will have surgery this Jan to fix that because he has difficulty swallowing/breathing at times. I would like to meet other people or thier families who have this type of cancer and see how they are coping w/it and what has happend to them since they've been diagnosed.
