So I think key is for patients to be aware that there's resources available, and that they don't have to make a treatment decision right away. So because most thyroid cancers are slow growing, you know, it's OK to do some online reading on things like the American Thyroid Association's website. It's OK to meet with their physician, go home, talk with family members, think over what the treatment options are, get a second opinion if they want to. And so I think it's key for patients to realize that this isn't a decision they have to make right away. They have time to think and choose something that's best for them.
