Chronic Disease and Chronic Condition Support Community

Thyroid cancer is often called the good cancer, which is not how it feels to the person who has it. ShareWell has free online support groups for people living with serious illness, where you do not have to be grateful or play down what you have been through.

Live groups available daily.

Good mornings, goals and gratitude's

Tue, Sep 29 | 6:00AM - 7:30AM UTC

Welcome to Good Mornings, Goals, and Gratitudes. Each morning, we meet with open hearts and tired eyes to greet the day gently, set a daily goal, and choose one small act of care for ourselves. Then, in return, we are grounded, lighter, and reminded that we are not alone. In the GGG, we start our day with positive quotes, journal prompts, self-care activities, daily intentions, and a goal we aim to achieve that day, followed by a moment of gratitude. Join us for a gentle, caring way to start your day.

Topic context

Understanding thyroid cancer

Thyroid cancer, most often the papillary type, is often treated with surgery, and many people then take thyroid hormone medication every day. Many say their energy and mood feel different afterward, some notice changes in their voice, and people frequently hear it called "the good cancer", which leaves little room for how they feel.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with thyroid cancer

Peer support can help with thyroid cancer because being told you are lucky can make you feel you have no right to struggle. In a group, the tiredness, the scar and the daily medication are understood as real.

Inside the room

What thyroid cancer groups often cover

Being told you have the good cancer
Energy, mood and voice after thyroid surgery
Anxiety before every checkup and blood test
Looking well while it is always on your mind

ShareWell groups are peer support and do not give medical advice, so please keep working with your care team on anything about diagnosis or treatment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a thyroid cancer group on ShareWell?

There is not one today. The groups you see were chosen because they welcome people with every kind of long-term illness, and the gentle sessions beside them are open to all members.

My cancer was caught early. Is a group still for me?

Yes. An early diagnosis is still a cancer diagnosis, and you can talk about how it has affected you.

Are there groups for other thyroid conditions?

Yes. ShareWell has a Hashimoto’s topic page with its own groups.

Where can I find medical information about thyroid cancer?

ThyCa, the Thyroid Cancer Survivors Association (thyca.org), offers patient information and can be reached toll free at 877-588-7904.
