Hi crbp - I'm sorry to read that your doctor waited too long to treat your cancer and that it has spread. It's disappointing to read that you met with an oncologist who said that other forms of treatment may not work for you. I can't tell you what to do, but if I was in such a situation I would seek an opinion from another oncologist and also investigate whether there are any clinical trials that could help.
This link can be used to locate a thyroid cancer specialist: http://www.thyroid-cancer.net/resources/findaspec.php3
The link provides information on clinical trials: http://www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials
I hope this information is helpful, and wish you more peace in the days ahead. Take care, Pat
