this is about the tests...

i am 23 y/o and my doctor says i have thyroid cancer which already affected  my heart. that was a year ago when i had my first ECG and my doctor says when he sees the result that the ECG result seems abnormal and "ALARMING".
kinda questionable. and he even ask me to visit some doctor in some Cancer Institute, he didn't explained why.
lastly, he also ask me to undergo radioisotope tests...why should i then? can help me with my little concerns...

SALAMAT! (Thank You!)

Hi Toni,
Can you be little bit more specific about all the test that were done.What made them this diagnose that you have thyroid cancer ?. If you haven't done radioisotope you should as it will give  you clear diagnoses for cancer that is little non-invasive as compare to needel biopsy. If they see activity in this test they will send you for needle biopsy I have done that pl. don't wait go and get it .The vast majority have excellent long term survival but you should take charge of your health and not suffer.This little butterfly can really make your life hell has so much to do to run your body.
If you have hypertyroid you will have abnormal ECG . ECG don't confirm thyroid cancer its for heart and their are N-number of causes for it to be abnormal but please again can you be little bit more specific about your test and  in  your question ?
take care
