Sofia Vergara, a 15-year survivor of thyroid cancer

9/12/2015

Sofia Vergara, the popular TV actress from Modern Family sitcom, had thyroid cancer. Hers was apparently picked up when she was taking her child to the doctor, when the doctor noticed Sofia's thyroid nodule. Her thyroid cancer was surgically removed, and from the media reports she is apparently disease-free, now 15 years later. A reminder to be thyroid-aware, in thyroid awareness month.

Some more on childhood thyroid cancer and Fukushima

9/9/2015

As follow-up to our post last month, I saw a recent article suggesting that childhood thyroid cancer is not thought to be likely as a result of the radiation that leaked out of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. In itself that's to some degree reassuring, but given the uncertainties about how much radiation leaked out, I guess time will tell what the eventual consequences might be.

Here's a patient's story that communicates some of the difficult issues facing a young mother with thyroid cancer. It gives a good idea of the particular challenges she faced, including the shock of having cancer at a young age, and having a big scar. Good on Kylee for sharing her story.
