Other Thyroid Diseases
In this part we provide a step-by-step guide to diagnosing and treating thyroid cancer. The key things to remember are that the most common forms of thyroid cancer have a 97 percent cure rate; and that, as John Diamond wrote, “Cancer is a word, not a sentence.”
Chapter 14 covers how to identify and treat problems with your thyroid’s partners, the adrenal glands. Chapter 15 tells you about other thyroid-related problems, including parathyroid disease. Chapter 16 describes the devastating emotional effects of thyroid disease, including depression and anxiety. And if you’re a woman, Chapter 17 helps you ensure thyroid disease doesn’t make a tough time worse when you’re experiencing PMS, infertility, postpartum issues, or perimenopause.
