    If your insurance will cover Cancer Treatment Center of America, I would try it out. From what I have r ead here and other places, you and your husband will be treated well--mind, body and soul (if you want). Pls check into it. Thinking of you both!

    Addie and All:

    Just think: There are estimated to be about 160,000 new cases of lc this year. I think that is the number. Then add to that all the people who are surviving having been dxed before this year--and the active members here are say, about 400 or so. Plus and there have been maybe at most 70 DIFFERENT people who have viewed this message and I would say that this consitutes a very large connection between thyroid and lc.

    I don't think that John has posted to this thread, but I think his mom had thyroid issues too!

    hmmm

    Phyllis,

    I must have completely missed all but the initial post on this thread. Is Erbitux (sp) off-label for lc? I get so confused, lol. I have an appointment in a few days so I will ask

    Thanks.

    I worry about you all the time.

    love and fortitude

    That's horrible about the lymphedema and your insurance company! Have you appealed and applealed? How can it be that a person doesn not have the "right" kind of cancer to get a specific treatment. I know it is possible for lc patients to have lymphedema, so what is the deal? (I know it's unusual side effect of surgery, but.....)

    The more I hear....

    Love to you. You ARE a hero.

    I am so sorry we had to meet this way, but I am glad you found us! Everything you wrote sounds so normal. You got lots of advice, all of it good. It's really is a hard thing we are going through, and it makes it somewhat easier to go through it with others here on the board. Most of us wish we lived closer to each other so we could actually be in the physical presence of our new friends, but for now this is what we have and without it many of us would feel a great deal more isolated.

    love and fortitude

    An Activism Letter to Oprah - WARNING - May Upset Some

    Cat, just now noticed you changed the original post. I just want you to know one thing: The fact that I disagreed with focusing on non-smoking women does not mean I don't support you: I do! Lots of people do. Activism is tough work, you know that. It usually means support of something controversial.

    I guess I want you to know one other thing: I care about you a ton!
