Depends on how advanced. I had a relatively fast growing papillary thyroid cancer that was already 3cm and spread to my lymph nodes. Still relatively "easy" to address, and I've been in remission for 10 years, but if my thyroid was not removed, and I didn't take the radiation treatment, I probably would have been toast long ago.
