Under the knife...again

So, if you follow the tweets or Becca's blog, you know I came through surgery just fine. But I did get some bummer news on the pathology report. What we thought was a goiter was actually thyroid cancer. So, its back to the operating table this week to get the rest of my thyroid removed. Then I'll have an I-131 treatment and should be good to go. If you like browsing WedMD, what I officially have is "follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma." Its a bummer, but there are certainly worse things that could happen. Like I said before, if you have to get cancer, this one is pretty easy. I will post a tweat on Wednesday night or Thursday morning.

I'm sorry to hear about the thyroid cancer and the need for more surgery. Even tho your prognosis is good (and I'm so glad for that) I'm sure it is still very stressful for you both going thru all this! I will send warm thoughts your way!
