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.

Wednesday

Doing pretty good today. I just need to get the hang of the diet. :) I almost ate something I wasn't supposed to... oops! my mom quickly reminded me before I did! :) yeah for support.

I probably need to write DIET in red on the back of my hand! :)

Today I went all day doing little things without taking a nap! :) yeah! The bandage is starting to fall off and getting a little irritating, but it will come off on Friday! yeah! I can't wait! :)

I just want each of you to know that I've felt very at peace with everything that is going on. I know that the Lord has EVERYTHING in his hands. I'm being well looked after by my Heavenly Father. He knows me so perfectly I've been entrusted with this experience and I need to use it for my good and the good of others! Don't get me wrong, I do have hard times and I do have sad or lonesome moments, however, I just need to remember that I'm never alone and those feelings instantly go away. I love each of you so much! :) Thank you all for your prayers!
