Also Wally, feel free to post here (which might be helpful to others) or PM me. Again, one big question I have is how ME/CFS plays into recovery from surgery + RAI and long-term prognosis. Also, did any symptoms improve, worsen, or change after your thyroidectomy?
I was just reading before something on EBV being involved in some head and neck cancers (it mentioned that in the research news.. virus and prostate cancer study I posted about with a link (in the other news/research area of this forum) ... not sure if by "neck cancer", if that was refering to thryiod cancer being connected to EBV or not.
