I was faced with a very rare type of cancer when I was diagnosed with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC).

Most who are affected by cancer will experience a less rare form of cancer than mine, medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC).
I previously wrote a similar column about radiation and some of the effects it had on me during treatment for medullary thyroid cancer (MTC).
When it comes to writing about MTC, there are many reasons why this sometimes feels like a daunting task.
I am grateful that medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) does not include typical chemotherapy options like other cancers.
For HCPs, I think it might be helpful to point out both the dos and the don’ts from the perspective of someone living with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC).
I deal with the persistent side effects of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) as well as the treatments I received for it.
Shortly after I was diagnosed with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), I created a blog that reflects my progress and some silver linings.
Before I was diagnosed with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), I didn’t really have any experience with the health care system as a patient.
I am proud of my ‘battle scar’ most of the time, but some days, I just want to be me. I don’t want to be known as a cancer patient.
