Hurthle Cell Carcinoma, best Dr.s???
I was diagnosed with stage 3 Hurthle Cell Carcinoma 2 1/2 years ago. I may have recurrence. There is a growth in my thyroid bed that my surgeon is hesitant to remove. I would like a second opinion. MD Anderson and Sloan Kettering are on the top of my list. Any referrals?
