If your going to get cancer...thyroid is the one you want b\c it is easily treated. Usually it is called papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland. A thyroidectomy (removal of the thyroid gland) will be preformed and then radiation via radioactive isotope (radioactive pill) where you stay quarantined to a hospital room for about a week.
I had it about 8 years ago and Im still here. You can't even see the scar unless I make it a point to point it out.

Take a look at this site. It offers a very readable discussion, and seems to cover a lot.
I have not heard of this lymphoma before. The good news is that it seems to be pretty curable.
