| My wife went through this a couple years ago. Her thyroid was removed, she had the radiation, etc. She is doing well now. There is a lot of information out there, some good, some not so good. If you want to drop me an email and I can share our experience. Yes it's scary as hell. But it can be OK in the end.
Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day |

Do---or do not.
There is no try.
| Prayers sent your way. Kick its ass. |

| Stay strong. My girlfriend had her thyroid removed 2 years ago. I wish you well, and have a speedy recovery.

| When I thought I had lung cancer, I was good to go. But then again, I knew my wife would be okay and we don't have any kids. Thank you for sharing your fears; they're understandable. We'll be hoping for the best for you.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Eye on the
Silver Lining
| You and your wife are more informed than most, being in the medical field yourselves. With all that knowledge, you know about the side effects and fine details some in the medical profession might gloss over when delivering the news to someone newly diagnosed with cancer. You’re justifiably frightened, and brave enough to admit it. Telling your wife will strengthen you, and make you even braver - because then you will have a partner to square off to this disease together. Your whole family is in my prayers.

Objectively Reasonable
| Many things that only a few years ago would've been game-enders are now entirely "winnable" if you get aggressive and stay strong. Add my prayers to the list. You can do this. |

| I don't have anything to add except prayers. It sounds like the prognosis is pretty good. We'll be here for you.
"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989
