This type is very curable. It is indeed. My father had this about 15 years ago (although he didn't need a trach), and the net effect is that removal of the thyroid means that the patients must take thyroid replacement hormone for the rest of their lives. It happens to people of all ages, and to my knowledge, seldom is it fatal if it is treated.

Nothing is easily treated in patients past 80. Common colds are a big deal at that age.
