Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your wife s situation and problem. Treatment of any cancer is based on its staging. Staging includes tumour size, lymphnode involvement and distal metastasis. So before deciding treatment options, we need to decide stage of tumour. Same thing is true for thyroid cancer. So better to first get done CT scan of neck to know the exact size of tumour and involvement of cervical lymphnodes. Also get done PET scan to rule out distal metastasis. On the basis of these investigations, staging is determined. There are four stages for thyroid cancer. Stage 1 and stage 2 thyroid cancer needs surgical removal and post operative chemotherapy. While in stage 3 and stage 4 cancer, only palliative chemotherapy is advisable. So better to consult oncologist, first determine stage of her thyroid cancer and than start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.
