that link thyroid cancer survivors and health care professionals
around the world. Our mission is simple:
- To
Educate, so we and our families better understand our disease.
- To
Participate, so others learn from our experience.

Communicate, so we and our health care professionals better
understand each others' needs.
- To
Support Research, for a future free of thyroid cancer.

support services available to people at any stage of testing,
treatment, or lifelong monitoring for thyroid cancer, as well
as their caregivers. It receives ongoing input and review from
numerous thyroid cancer specialists. This site also serves as
a resource for anyone interested in thyroid cancer survivors'
issues.
