I found my attempt to deal with ~my~ cancer here a few years back very unproductive. So, I'm here to say, if no one else, you've me. That said, I was extremely lucky and had only "thyroid cancer" (papilary carcinoma) which is easily treated, and usually very effectively managed afterword.
I'm with you in mind body and spirit, Sticky...I went through much of what you did...ultra sound, Fine Needle Biopsy (a few of them), but nothing ever conclusive...it turns out that regardless when someone feels cysts in your thyroid and an ultra sound sees same, benign or malignant the thyroid comes out.....it was only after the entire thyroid comes out and goes under a microscope that they conclusively diagnosed papilary carcinoma. This meant some radioactive iodine to kill any left over carcinoma cells.
Anything I can offer with regards to my experiences with the process or dealing with loved ones, your and their emotions, I'd be more then happy.
best,
-bear
