I'm sorry, this is specifically a thyroid forum; most of us aren't well versed in cancer issues. Of course, decisions such as this are always best made with your doctor.

You might get a better answer if you try post your question on the cancer forum, which can be accessed via the following link: http://www.medhelp.org/forums/Cancer/show/59
