T-Cancer

I just want people to know about the things that are currently happening in my life. In January I went into the doctor's office thinking I had strep throat or something because I hadn't been able to recover from a cold. While I was visiting with the doctor she noticed my neck was swollen and so she felt it and realized that my thyroid was enlarged, she suggested that we do blood work to see what was going on.

The results on it came back as to be in the normal range, so we decided to press on to do an ultrasound of the thyroid because SOMETHING was going on. When we received those results there were two hard nodules and one cyst, all in different locations. According to statistics this should not be concerning. My doctor had talked with another doctor and they suggested we check back in on them in six months. As I got off the phone I just felt sick inside and knew I needed to see someone else for a second opinion. As I thought that my doctor had called me back and told me I should do that too. She told me that I should go to an ENT (Ears, Nose, Throat) Specialist.

I went to one and he decided I needed to get the two harder nodules biopsied. I got both hard nodules biopsied one located on the right lobe of the thyroid and the other on the left lobe of the thyroid. Both resulted in the news of being malignant (cancer). This is a rare find for my age and having multiple nodules on the thyroid. Now I have been diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid Cancer.

Night Before the Surgery

Tomorrow is the BIG day! I'll be checking into the hospital at 11:45 am. Surgery will begin at 1:30. On average this surgery takes 2 hours. We'll see tomorrow how everything goes.

Tonight I will be receiving a blessing, which I know will give me an added measure of strength for tomorrow and the rest of these treatments.

I know that the Lord lives and loves us and no matter what, He knows what's best for us. May the Lord bless each of you for the love that you have shown me and will continue to show me throughout my life!

I love each of you with all my heart! 
Keep smiling the Lord knows you!
