Thyroid Cancer -problem with Thyca Groups?

Question

I am in my late 30's male and diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I tryed to join a group named Thyca and was denied membership, no one will tell me why. I joined their other group, Thycamental Challenges and was in there for about a day and was banned too. Is anyone else having problems joining this group?
The group does not care that my wife and kids are crying thinking I am going to die, I wanted to join the group for support and feel closed out.

Answer 1

Sorry you have been denied access to one of the thyroid cancer groups. Unfortunately that happens from time to time. Sometimes the group owners only want those posting that have the same opinion they have and that is wrong. The only way others can learn is by reading of many people's experience. I suggest you look for another group. Below is a good thyroid site and they do have a message board as well. It's general thyroid info, but many of the members have had thyroid cancer and can hopefully be of help to you. Good luck!

Answer 2

When my husband was first diagnosed with Thyca in 2000, I looked into that site but didn't join, so I can't say why your are having those problems with it.

However we both became quite educated about ThyCa. If you have any questions or just want to talk respond here and I will send you my e-mail address. Take care.

ETA: Thyroid cancer is almost always highly treatable. There in one kind that is quite rare that does not have a good prognosis. Many doctors have said that most thyroid cancers are more easily treated than any other kind of cancer.

Answer 3

Thyroid Cancer does not have an HIGH mortality rate - it has a 90% survival rate!

Answer 4

Ask Your Doctor.

Answer 5

Find another group.
These sleazy dicks aren't worth your time.

And I would be careful not to mislead my family if I were you.
Thyroid cancer has... well, a high mortality rate.
But best of luck to you.
