I had a lump in my throat that was liquid with a mass in it and the mass was cancer, doctor who removed part of my thyroid thought it was caused by the thyroid so he gave me a second surgery to remove the rest of my thyroid, now l seen a cancer specialist, and he wants to give me radiation treatment, but the remainder of the thyroid was not cancerous....what if l didnt do radiations treatment what are my risk
Hello, If the mass is confirmed as cancerous, then further therapy (radio or chemo) are recommended to prevent spreading of the malignancy to other organs notably the lungs, gut, ENT, brain etc. which could cause serious morbid and lethal issues to your life. It is best to go for the radiotherapy as advised by the cancer specialist. Your risk is cancer spreading and believe me, you do not want to find yourself at that side. Hope this helps
