Good morning, I was diagnosed with Ana-plastic thyroid cancer on September 28, 2023. I went through chemo and radiation. Only my right thyroid was removed. Has anyone had this? I have a cough and occasional tickling in my throat. Thanks for your input.

Thank you for sharing your experience with anaplastic thyroid cancer and the symptoms you're experiencing after treatment. Post-treatment symptoms like cough and throat sensations are concerns that many cancer survivors face, and connecting with others who have walked a similar path can provide valuable insights and support. Consider reaching out to your healthcare team about these symptoms, and hopefully other community members who have experience with thyroid cancer will share their perspectives with you.

Hi Anita - I had (or may still have) an angio sarcoma that surprised even the University of Michigan oncology dept. because of its rarity. I was soaked in chemo and had to be hospitalized for each of the 4 rounds. The surgeon does a camera scope every 6 months. He said the cough and "tickling" throat is from scar tissue, but the oncologist orders a CT scan every 6 months, even after 2 years clear. I'm grateful for each day I have. You have my prayers for a complete recovery!
