Hey today I slept for most of the day in part was because I have been sick with a cold the other is that I just want to sleep and not think about this cancer or surgery. Yesterday I spoke to the surgeon and he wants to take out my whole thyroid and some lymph nodes that also have cancer cells. I will spending 3 days in Lenox Hill Hospital and then go home and take hormone medication for the rest of my life. I will also have to do a treatment of radio active iodine therapy. I am scared. Prior to this news I was preparing to have a child. Ironically CVS Pharmacy keeps calling me to pick of my prenatal vitamins that I was supposed to start taking to prepare for my baby. I have to call them and tell them never mind. I guess this is a blessing in disguise. It would have been harder to treat if I were pregnant at the same time. It is stressful now and I am not carrying a baby. Sometimes I am not sure why these things happen to me. I want to cry but at the same time I need to think positively, for myself and my husband. I have been looking up some information on this cancer and the follow up treatment. As always patients do better than others I am hoping I can tolerate the hormone meds cause I tried them before and got real sick. This is my one true concern. I am dealing with my depression and this new situation is not helping. Well as the saying goes Que Sera Sera!
