Customer Reviews

Very Informative
As a thyroid cancer patient, on a mission to educate myself, I find this book extremely helpful. Many doctors do not hesitate to tell their thyroid cancer patients that thyroid cancer is "the best cancer to have." I hear what the doctors are saying, but with this book I learn how to respect thyroid cancer. It can help to empower me to better take care of myself, and give me further understanding into my own treatment.

A thyroid cancer patient's best source
I purchased this book while going through a recurrence of my thyroid cancer; the information and research in this book are invaluable. Finding the "cutting edge" treatments helped me, and my doctor, discuss better treatments and change my treatment plan. This book has also been a great resource for my thyroid cancer support forums ([...]) as it covers all four types of thyroid cancer and their treatments. This book is a *must* for any thyroid cancer patient who needs to understand their condition further; who has metastases or a recurrence; or who is suffering from one of the more aggressive forms of thyroid cancer.
