I suppose it is possible to give a person so much radiation that the thyroid will totally die put other tissue around the thyroid would be seriously damaged too... possibly putting the person's life in jeopardy. Thyroid surgery is not that dangerous of a surgery an most people recover quiet well.

Why do you ask?

Well i have a friend that told me in march that she had thyroid cancer. And some of the things that she tells me doesn't really make sense and i'm starting to believe that she has a problem with lieing. she said that her thyroid was removed with the use of new like probe technology through her naval so as not to leave scars. she has also told us that she has pancreotic cancer as well but i have not seen her go to a doctors appointment or to any treatment ever. and she continues to drink and act healthy as hell.
