GOOD FOR YOU!
Some years ago, a co-worker complained of a sore throat, and eventually found out that he had medullary thyroid cancer. The tumor was entwined around his thyroid and other structures in his neck. After surgeries, chemo and radiation, it claimed him. And he was a big, strapping fellow who used to curl railroad ties.
It took him down like he was a 98lb. weakling.
Everyone liked Kevin. He was a great guy. Don’t ever let up on your surveillance.

I agree. There are 2 types of thyroid cancer that are aggressive. The others are very curable. Jared will do fine.
