Great News!!

I just spoke with my doctor as I was leaving work today and there is great news on my biopsy. He said there were no signs of cancer! Woo Hoooo!!! Its just a really big benign tumor. He even said it had pathology consistent with a nodular goiter. What the heck??? I thought that was only in people in developing countries. Anyway, we are all very happy over here at the DeWires and consider ourselves really fortunate.

This means I have surgery coming up to remove the tumor and half the thyroid, and that's all. Since the tumor presents no danger to me in the immediate future, we are now figuring out when to have it removed. As we figure out what's going to happen and when, I'll write some blogs, but I just wanted to get word out that other than having this big mysterious lump growing on my neck I am completely normal and healthy.
