Thyroid Cancer Support Groups Online

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.

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.

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.
