DEAR THYROID^TM

Welcome to Dear Thyroid! We are a lively, highly interactive support community and literary brand. We are so excited to MEET YOU!

“Dear Thyroid™ is changing the way we talk about thyroid disease and cancer. We are starting a new conversation using YOUR words. We are a new voice. We are making this disease sexy. We are changing the face of thyroid disease and we want you in on the action.” — Joanna Isbill
