How to Get Started

This website was developed by thyroid cancer patients. We hope we have covered topics that are of interest to you.

If you are new to thyroid cancer, there is a lot to learn and sometimes patients have to get informed very quickly – as surgery and treatment may follow closely after diagnosis. We suggest you use this website to:

• inform yourself about thyroid cancer. Make use of the information we provide and the links to outside resources we suggest;
• find out about Thyroid Cancer Canada through this website or by requesting more information. In addition to the website resources here, we provide hard copy information by request;
• ask questions.  Ask your doctors.  Ask fellow patients (via the TCC Online Forum). Make use of the TCC’s Ask Thry’vors project;
• get support.  The diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer can be very emotionally challenging.  We offer telephone and email support. Our Online Forum is a great tool too. And this website offers information and links for additional support.
