If not, Kurgan is a great fallback plan.Mark Langsdorfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301984145275679568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1287550692312955328.post-68174721957419054402016-08-05T11:30:03.444-07:002016-08-05T11:30:03.444-07:00The causes of thyroid cancer aren't well under...The causes of thyroid cancer aren't well understood. It can be genetic, or maybe low levels of salt and/or iodine. It might be caused by insufficient vitamin D or too much exposure to environmental toxic chemicals. There's nothing definite to point to in my case.<br /><br />Dying from hypothyroidism is a pretty miserable way to die, so I'm very much interesting in not doing that. Avoiding that should be easy as long as there isn't a zombie apocalypse.Mark Langsdorfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301984145275679568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1287550692312955328.post-16533269280437728292016-08-01T19:18:12.239-07:002016-08-01T19:18:12.239-07:00Sorry to hear about this, but glad to hear you'...Sorry to hear about this, but glad to hear you've made it through this far.<br /><br />And you will make one <i>hell</i> of a good Kurgan for Halloween this year!Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1287550692312955328.post-39219413211802742512016-07-31T10:59:06.325-07:002016-07-31T10:59:06.325-07:00I work with a man who had his thyroid out due to G...I work with a man who had his thyroid out due to Graves. He has made the mistake of not taking his Thyroxin, and nearly died as a result, so definitely stay punctual on that!<br /><br />Any idea what cause the cancer to form?MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086901374821838288noreply@blogger.com
