Thyroid Cancer

"Most thyroid cancers are very curable. In fact, the most common types of thyroid cancer (papillary and follicular) are the most curable." (WebMD)

Beth, Erin's cousin, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and is undergoing surgery this Friday to remove both lobes of her thyroid. After the surgery she will then have radiation therapy until they are sure it is all gone. We are encouraged by research on thyroid cancer and the well known facts that it is quite curable in most cases. We are also encouraged by Beth's amazingly positive attitude! Beth, you are in our prayers during this time and we look forward to a reunion of some sort very soon!
