      Sorry, it’s thyroid, which has a high-nineties-percent 5-year survival rate. No kind of cancer is good, but most are worse.

      I was rooting for spinal or pancreatic cancer. Oh well, eventually a pin will hit the right spot in the doll.

        Survival rate is one thing, thyroid shit is annoying as hell. She’s probably been dealing with complications from it for a while. If that makes anyone feel a bit better via schadenfreude.

        My dad had thyroid cancer and had to have his removed.

        Of course now that means he’s dependent on drugs to get the hormones he needs.
