I can't believe it's true

March 30,2011 at 7pm I received a phone call from the surgeon telling me that I have thyroid cancer. Two areas on the right side of my thyroid. The left side will have to come out!
The thought of going through this again is not at all comforting. Six weeks after the completion thyroidectomy I will have to have radioactive iodine!


The thought of putting something so toxic into my body scares me. I have been fortunate to have others reaching out to me who have gone through this. The tips are going to be helpful. My husband is so supportive and my endocrinologist assures me he will get me through this.

In the mean time the shock has worn off. I think about the cancer less. I try to eat a bit healthier. I have to be strong and get through this.
