Anthony Calvillo, Canadian Football League (CFL) Quarterback of the Montreal Alouettes
Anthony talks here about his experience with thyroid cancer. I commend him for going really public with this information because it was fairly recent in his diagnosis. He is talking about first having had an operation for his thyroid lesion and then the surgeons finding cancer. So he had to undergo a second surgery to remove the entire thyroid and then get the thyroid medication. I have met a few Thy'Ca survivors who have undergone their second surgeries or are awaiting surgery and it is not easy to have to go through a second time. I commend their bravery.
