Thyroid Cancer For Beginners I hope will be informative for anyone newly diagnosed. It charts my four-year journey from first finding a lump in my neck, through surgery to remove the thyroid gland and subsequently being given a diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer. Also, the reader will find out what happens during radioactive Iodine treatment, and how I felt at the time after having to undergo further surgery to remove cancerous lymph nodes some two years later. It includes snippets of family life, and the effect my illness had on my immediate family.

This book tells the continuing true story of my journey through diagnosis and treatment for thyroid cancer and its aftermath. It is a sequel to 'Thyroid Cancer for Beginners', and brings the reader up to date with everything that has happened since the first book was published in 2009.
