Thyroid Cancer Prognosis

There are various prognosis staging methods for thyroid cancer. Following is my prognosis using the three different methods:

MAICS - 20yr Survival Rate 56%
TNM - Recurrence 7%, Mortality 11.6%
AMES - High Risk, 46% Mortality

According to another source, the 5 year survival rate is 48%.

One thing going for me is my age (under 45), but the distant metastases to the lymph nodes and lungs doesn't help.
