Thyroid cancer! Bless your heart. I hope that everything is okay now.
I don't go for my check up till August. There was still residual in February but we will find out. The advantage of Thyroid Cancer is that it is normally the kind of once it is gone it is gone. There is one particular kind that can spread to other parts of your body and that is the kind I have and it is hereditary so my girls will have to be checked too when they get around 50. It doesn't show by doing thyroid blood levels. There is a particular test the do to indicate if something further needs done. So you just play the wait and see game that all cancer survivors play. That is the hard part. You then realize how fortunate you are each day and be thankful for it.
