I was diagnosed with thryoid cancer 3 years ago. I wish I'd had this book then! Rosenthal explains everything so clearly! I feel so empowered with this book. It covers everything you need to know about your cancer and especially all about follow-up scans. I found this chapter the most useful for me because it's a very confusing subject. This book answered all my questions and concerns about withdrawl scanning. Everyone with thryoid cancer should have this book. I have her other thyroid books, and they're all really well-written and informative, but if you have thyroid cancer, you need this book especially.

My doctor recommended this book to me when I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer recently. It's been a godsend! It explained things to me in terms that are easy to read and understand. I really appreciated that it was written by someone who's also been through thyroid cancer. I felt like a friend was helping me through the process of my treatment. I also really trust the information in it because the medical advisor for this book, Dr. Ain, is a name I recognize, who gives out amazing advice on the thyroid cancer Yahoo listserve.

The book is very out of date and not organized well at all. It does not answer more than 50% of the questions I had regarding this disease.
At 186 pages (at least 1/3 was filler regarding general issues on healing and disease. . . something I could get from almost any web site on serious illness), this book is certainly not worth the expensive price. I would not recommend it at all. Visit the web sites specifically for thyroid cancer and you can educate yourself much more
thoroughly than by buying this book.

I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2005. I bought this book almost immediately afterwards. I only had a small tumor, so this was a little bit of overkill for me, but it convinced me to have surgery so I didn't get any farther along. There isn't much out there when it comes to thyroid cancer. When I bought this book, it was the only one I could find. I would definitely recommend it if you or a family member has been diagnosed.

This is a great overview for someone who has been recently diag. with Thyroid Cancer, however it is not overly indepth.

I have had Thyroid cancer and have relied on all of her Thyroid books since my surgery. I wish I had known about these books BEFORE my surgery. I would reccommend to anyone who has Thyroid Cancer. Be sure to check out the other books she has published.

Because of my illness I haven't been able to absorb or read to many books in years. I couldn't put it down. I read the entire book and felt alot better. This book points out how many people there truly are with thyroid problems. I have thryoid cancer and should have received better support in general & advice from the medical profession. This book gives me the will to do what I want about my own health. Thank you

I like it because it has a lot of links on the end off the book. It is informative but in some parts to long winded. I like that she can tell from her experience as a thyroid cancer survivor.
And at the end she has some alternative healing methods.
All in one a good book.

The best purchase I have made in relation to my illness. Anyone with a thyroid problem or cancer MUST read this book. Informative and very well explained. Its a must have! I refer to it constantly!
