It's 3am. Can't sleep have those built up nervous energies again. Nearly 6 months ago (WOW! is that right!!) I felt the same way, before my CT scan. I was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer. I had half my thyroid removed . Recovery was excellent. When I had my initial CT scan they also found a noudule on my lung that was to be reviewed in six months. The last couple of months I've become quite unwell, extremely fatigued out of breath, back & chest pain. I'm booked in for a CT scan today at 12. I'm mentally preparing myself for whatever the outcome. Shout out to you all going through your own battles, & sleepless nights. Your not alone.

Hi Angel _B welcome 😊 I'm still recovering from a thyroid cancer operation & remember feeling lost, frightened & isolated when i was first diagnosed. I just wanted to reach out to you Angel and let you know your not alone. I know hope can be easily lost in such a time of despair. Only last Saturday i just sat on the couch and cried for most of the day. Sending you extra hope & strength. Wishing you all the very best Angel.

Relieved and blessed the operation is over and done with. And bleesed to have at my disposal as an Australian to have the finest doctors, surgeons and hospitals in the world far as I'm concerned. Operation went well. I will be speaking with surgeon today before im released. Things are never what they seem in your head. I'm the biggest scaredy cat...i just wanted to let people know it's never as bad as you think. I'm proud of myself . As you should also be of yourself ...we can do this!.

Oh THANK YOU so much Katekat very much appreciated. It's all over and done. It's never what you imagine is it?... im very sore but its not from the cut, but fron the tube they use to put dowm your throat to breath. Apart from that I'm good. My surgeon will come and have a chat with me before im discharged and apparently i will get my results from my GP in about a week. Thank you so much to Katekat & Kj for all your support and kindness . I'm ready to go home to my comfy bed rest....and see what my future holds for me. I wish anyone going through this op all the very best. If i can get through it anyone can!. You will be ok i promise.

Thank you so much for reaching out its very much appreciated Kj ., i hope your well. The day i couldn't stop crying a close friend rang to check on me. She got in her car and drove over with homemade pumpkin soup . I had my fist hug in nearly 2 months! Because of the covid19....that's been the hardest for me in this time, and im sure for alot people in these uncertain times with chronic health issues. It's always been an issue for me asking for help...i think I'm going to learn a lot about myself through this nightmare, if there is any positive to take on board it's going to be such life lessons as these. Thank you.

Having such a tough day. I keep being hit by these waves of emotions. The thought of the surgery on Tuesday ...the out come...i have support, but i hate the thought of burdening them i know its sounds crazy they keep telling me to let them know when im not traveling well. My Mum had a mini stroke a couple of weeks ago, she knows I'm having surgery but we haven't said its thyroid cancer. It's been a tough couple of months with tests and uncertainty. It just feels all a bit to much today. Sending support out. And thanks for reading.

Hello, first of all if your reading this your also going through your own roller-coaster of emotions...sending you support and understanding. I was diagnosed recently with thyroid cancer. I'm scheduled to have a Left Hemithyroidectomy & central Lymph Node Dissection on Tuesday, I'm absolutely petrified. I feel so alone even though i have support . The covid pandemic has left me feeling even more alone because every time i see a good mate we can't hug and keep our distance. I understand it totally, but i really need a hug. I'm trying to be brave. . ....oh and if anyone has got any recommendations for any books that they have found helpful in regards to thyroid cancer i would appreciate. And whilst i also remember (thyroid brain ) I'm already looking at scar creams and strips online, any recommendations also would be appreciated too. Thanks for reading.
