This is my new Grand-Daughter, Desirae Lynn!

The most important guy in my life!

Changes coming soon!

Food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It didn't spread!!!

I don't know why I keep this blog. Nobody ever comments.

Unfortunately, is IS cancer.
A week from Friday I will have radioactive iodine treatment.
I will also know if it has spread that day.
My emotions are all over the place.
I am going to a New Member Meeting at Gilda's Club on Monday!
Next week is nothing but appointments and tests.
And at the end, they give me poison :(
The low-iodine diet they have me on SUCKS ASS.
Seriously, I'm not lying.
Yes, I am scared.
They tell me my chances are good.
I certainly hope they are right.
I'm betting my life on it.

Surgery went well.
In pain.
Pathology reports on Monday.
Wish me luck.

Surgery today.
Nervous.

I'm not sure which stage I am going thru.
I'm just scared and want this shit out of me.

Give me strength.

The biopsy results were not good.
I have thyroid cancer.
I am terrified.

A few weeks ago the doctor felt a nodule on my thyroid. Upon further inspection, it is actually pretty large and wrapped around the thyroid. I saw an endocrinologist yesterday and he did a biopsy right then and there. Two shots to numb it and 8 shots to extract cells from different areas of it. I won't know anything until Tuesday or Wednesday. My neck is bruised and sore.

Regardless of the results it has to come out because it is pressing against my trachea. Surgery. A scar on my neck. Great.

He also said that my sugar and triglycerides are too high and if I can't get them down within 6 months with diet I will have to go on insulin :( I see the nutritionist on Tuesday.

Hoping for the best.

I have a large growth on my thyroid. Seeing an endocrinologist tomorrow morning. Not sure if they will do a biopsy then or if they will schedule me for one at a later date. Kinda nervous.

Tired. Sore. Muscles tight. Maybe I'll take a nap? Been up since 3:45 this morning.
