As a radiation oncologist (cancer doctor) I have treated thyroid cancer quite a bit. It is a VERY curable disease and even when it comes back it RARELY hurts a person or causes them to die early.

Radioactive iodine has a high cure rate in addition to surgery.

I have also treated a lot of prostate cancer... and usually it is also very indolent and hard to die from.

I hope I could give you all some medical insight to make you feel better. As others have said, these are very slow growing cancers and the cure rate is VERY high.

feel free to IM me with questions.
