Anaplastic Survivor to Lead Cancer Support Group

Clayton Twigg and his wife Rose will be the new moderators of the Thyroid Cancer Survivor's Association (ThyCa) Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer Listserv, reports the ThyCa newsletter. Twigg beat overwhelming odds, and has survived the rare and usually lethal anaplastic form of thyroid cancer. Twigg has reported that a grape-sized tumor disappeared three months after he used the experimental drug combretastatin.
