I’m a retired nurse, five of my twenty year career were spent on an Oncology unit.
One of our oncologists found her own malignant brain tumor, it’s a good thing he found this when he did.

The only ENDOCRONOLOGIST I’ve ever heard that cares about the thyroid. I’ve gone to five total in CO and CA that gaslit my hashimotos. “ your numbers are fine so you are fine. Don’t don’t why you are fatigued.
Good on you doc. Hope you heal cancer free.

I had my thyroid removed for papillary thyroid cancer.. and had a RAI treatment they saw diffuse uptake in my lungs... my doctor said I don't need to worry and it wont effect the prognosis but I do worry alot!

Antibiotic thyroid medicine from Dr emuakhe on YouTube from Africa vanished my thyroid case and haven't seen any reoccurrence to date, you're truly an epitome of good treatment.

Doesn’t the doctor just order the test ? Doesn’t a Radiologist look the test and consult with the doctor? Most of the time the one performing the scan isn’t a doctor?

There has been an increase of cancer since the j a b s rolled out. I wonder how many jabs this doctor had. Some oncologist are seeing turbo cancer after 3. So sad!
