It is an important and integral part of  our efforts to dispel myths and preconceived notions about thyroid cancer and give a "face"  to our thyroid cancer community that is often ignored, misunderstood  and overlooked. Thyroid cancer is the fastest increasing newly diagnosed cancer in America today with women of all ages (girls, adolescents, young adults, middle aged and seniors) diagnosed 3 times more than men and childhood cancer survivors at an increased risk for developing the condition it's time we introduce ourselves to the world and each other.

These are YOUR pages and YOUR space to connect with others, help others, vent, inspire, and give back. For many of us, thyroid cancer and survivorship can drain our energy, darken our spirit and leave us shaken. Please don't give up. God does not make mistakes. You are still here and we are here for you!

• How has your outlook on life changed?

• Has thyroid cancer had an impact on your relationships with your spouse/partner, children, family, friends, co-workers, self?
