I have known people who were diagnosed with this horrible illness.
My aunt died about a year and half ago from thyroid cancer. Its painful and she suffered through it for a couple of years.
I wish no ill to anyone who is suffering from this horrible disease.
But! Bondi is the exception. No, I wish for her to come back from this. Yet, she has said you better watch your back because things happen!
Well, its maybe karma or it maybe punishment for her ill conceived behavior?
No matter the facts or the truth? She is a hypocrite and horrible person. She has cater to Trumps every wish and even after she lost her job, she still provides cover for his behavior!
Lesson in life? Maybe, but these people will never understand karma is coming soon enough! Although, not fast enough for some! Cough Cough!

(13,177 posts)Is she knows judgement is near and to have her evil forgiven before the Gate appearance, she starts trying to do good as her BuyBull teaches, maybe like get justice for raped women by rich assholes.
As Jesus would do. WWJD, that.

(17,953 posts)BIL had thyroid cancer, but it was caught early and had his thyroid removed. This was probably at least 20 years ago. I guess he takes a medication to replace it, synthroid I think.

(95,616 posts)These numbers vary, though, depending on the cancer type and cancer stage. For example, the five-year survival rate is excellent even when papillary and follicular cancers have spread. On the other hand, less than half of people with advanced medullary thyroid cancer survive. All forms of the rare anaplastic type involve a shortened life expectancy.
Is thyroid cancer curable?
Yes, most thyroid cancers are permanently curable with treatment. This is especially the case if the cancer hasnt spread to distant parts of your body. Treating thyroid cancer in the early stages reduces the risk of cancer spread.

(16,452 posts)It started in her thyroid and spread. But she didnt realize that until she couldnt walk without being pain. It has spread into her spine. She was in a wheelchair shortly after she was diagnosed.
Cancer is a disease that affects everyone.

The question is, does she really have any cancer
These people lie like most of us breath

(43,460 posts)would have said, overseas markets have overperformed US markets by 15% since Trump has been in office. Wonder what she would had said then.

(9,435 posts)But if you have to pick one, thyroid is the one to get. If caught before it spreads to other areas you have a 98% survivability rate. They remove the thyroid and give you iodine. You stay away from your kids for a few days take synthroid or the like for the rest of your life and in most instances you live a long life.
All that said, it is not 100 percent and Iman, I am sorry for the loss of your Aunt.

(28,633 posts)Im going to assume for the sake of argument that she really does have thyroid cancer. Theyre like eight different kinds and some of the survival rates are in the high 90% range, like 97%.
As usual with the media, the details are never given, assumed not to be important, this is much more complex than it appears to be, and you can never go by anecdotal cases. Saying that someone died from thyroid cancer and so this lady is going to its like saying that their brother-in-law got into a car and was killed in an accident so your neighbor shouldnt go to the grocery store.
It is very common among women, I have had literally dozens and dozens of people in my practice diagnosed with it and to my memory I have never lost one from the thyroid cancer. OK, maybe one back in the 1980s.
If she were diagnosed with a glioblastoma, an aggressive pancreatic cancer, a metastatic osteosarcoma or even non-Hodgkins lymphoma, her prognosis over time would be guarded to poor, but absent details, this may not be a life-changing issue for her.
I am certainly not defending her, but I am very tired of misreporting and inadequate reporting of medical conditions in the media..

I care as much about her as she cares about me.

(910 posts)worse than Bondi. How come they're not getting some horrible disease? The universe is okay with their atrocities?
That she got this disease due to bad karma is B.S.

(38,854 posts)It is one of the most survivable cancers - alongside pancreatic cancer. I'm sorry your aunt didn't survive, but she is the exception, rather than the rule.
