Sarah Huckabee Sanders revealed Friday that she had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer but that surgery to remove it had been successful.
Doctors were able to spot the cancer after a check-up and a biopsy on an area of concern in her neck earlier this month, she said on social media.
Today, I underwent a successful surgery to remove my thyroid and surrounding lymph nodes and by the grace of God I am now cancer-free, she wrote, going on to thank her medical providers.

Mr.Bill
(24,282 posts)surgery for that type of cancer where the doctors you "cancer free" right after the surgery.
hasnt spread into lymph nodes, then likely cancer free. My BIL had it. Have to take thyroid medication the rest of your life. Getting it at the right level can take time or at least it was true for my BIL.

(33,514 posts)It's not an aggressive cancer, does not result in metastasis with anywhere near the frequency of other cancers.
It is a fairly curable cancer, except in unusual cases.

(17,911 posts)There is no practical way to determine if anyone is ever "cancer free". A low probability of recurrence. The odds of recurrence are heavily in their favor. Take your pick. Neither of which means "cancer free."
ShazzieB
(16,375 posts)Of course, we don't actually know what words her doctors used, do we? That could just be her way of translating the situation into layman's terms.
paleotn
(17,911 posts)because I had the same diagnosis and a really good surgeon, didn't even need the standard radioactive iodine treatment.
FYI this was no big deal, at least for me.

(7,683 posts)Isn't that rather serious?
carpetbagger
(4,391 posts)She's young, so this type of cancer is pretty wimpy and she has less than a one percent chance from dying from it in the next 20 years, even if it did spread to the lymph nodes but not to remote parts of the body. But, that's standard treatment, both to prevent problems with multicentric cancers, as well as the fact that they're just going to radiate and destroy the rest of her thyroid to get all the cancer.

(19,851 posts)Doctors decommissioned the thyroid gland with radioactive iodine (..this was early 1980s..).
I've been on daily synthroid medication (man-made thyroid hormone) for over 40 years now.
So, not very serious to decommission the thyroid gland.

I don't wish cancer on anyone, not even a sourpuss liar for Jebus like her, but this is one of the curable ones.

(2,170 posts)I'm conflicted here. I'm sure I'm supposed to feel sorry for her, but I really cannot. She wants to take my children's very humanity. Yes, they are part of the LGBTQI community. Maybe, I'll have to answer when I go before Saint Peter, but I'll take that risk.
Vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She would love for a woman to DIE from an ectopic pregnancy, and for a little girl to be forced to carry her Father's baby i he raped and impregnated her because she's an evil, rotten, pathologically lying racist asshole and so is her father. Too bad that pig will be governor of Arkansas.

"if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it"
But she didn't always follow her own advice, so I won't either
As many know, WaPo counted 30,573 lies or misleading statements during his 4 years at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Sarah delivered a lot of them.
When someone like that can be the leading candidate for Governor of their state, there is something terribly wrong. Maybe the tumor has more brains than we give it credit for.

(2,188 posts)We do not mock people who are sick and have disabilities, unlike she did about Biden's stuttering disability. And lets not forget her former filthy boss making fun of a reporter with a disability.

He has tried over and over to point out that people can and do experience various levels of health issues, yet when it comes to Democrats, the world is coming to an end, but not so for Republicans.
Orrex
(63,203 posts)For Democrats, "suffering from an illness" is proof of weakness and frailty.

(757 posts)She's lucky she can afford American healthcare. As usual, she's too stupid to see if she'd endorse universal healthcare it would be cheaper.
al bupp
(2,179 posts)Somehow, I think her remission, if that proves to be the case, will have been due to the hard work of scientists, doctors, nurses, laboratory technicians and other staff that made her treatment possible.

(6,974 posts)And make sure children in schools are shot up with sub machine guns, and so women will DIE from ectopic pregnancies, and so little girls 10 years old can be forced to have her Daddy's baby if he raped and impregnated her.
Geez, she gets to do a LOT of killing of others there in Arkansas as Governor right after she's been "cured" of cancer.
