I scheduled surgery for June 8th. They will remove my thyroid that day and a couple of lymph nodes. Ironically I spoke to my aunt today she said that my Grandma could not speak to me because she is going through her second round of RAI. Apparently she also got thyroid cancer and did the RAI treatment but now they have found out that it has spread to one of her lungs so they are doing the treatment again. Her sister who is my mothers aunt also got thyroid Cancer so I guess I can safely guess it runs in my mothers side. I also have a cousin on my fathers side who also is removing her thyroid. I just can't believe this is happening to me. Sometimes I feel like I will be fine and other times I want to scream.
Interestingly I also see that people are not as willing to talk to about it anymore. I guess once they hear it it's enough and you have to deal with it.
I feel alone and I am scared. The internet is filled with stories of women who have lost their hair and gained a lot of weight. I know it sounds vein but I do not want to lose my hair. Anyway I will continue to pray that God gives me strength to get through this mess.
