Cancer of the Thyroid, and it has spread. Any survivors here?

Just had a phonecall from my sister. She went for a check up as she has had some thyroid problems. Turns out she has cancer, and it has spread. She was on the bus and on the way home, so couldnt talk much. She was half hysterical, what is usually the prognosis? The tumours in her neck are many, and large as grapes, and in clusters, much like grapes.

God I wish she was here and not in Spain, and I would just hold her close.

As she had a Goitre 2 years ago - - a swollen Thyroid Gland, which I have had- she must have had treatment - mine was operated on and cut down to a small size. They would have seen if any cancer was there or at least tested for it. All those I know, had the cancerous Thyroid gland out, but had not spread.
Wish her all the best of luck.

Most Thyroid cancers are very treatable.
