It's been three weeks since I lasted posted to this blog... Wow how time flies!!
Just an update:
About two months ago I found a lump in my throat. I could feel it from the outside, on my left side. I went to the doctor and he said it was my thyroid. He sent me to the surgeon. The surgeon did a fine needle aspiration biopsy. The results came back a week later with suspicious cells. They want to remove that part of my thyroid. While in surgery, they will test the part that they remove for cancer. If it comes back fine, they will sew me back up and just watch it. If it comes back cancerous, they will remove my whole thyroid.
My surgery date is tomorrow!! I had my pre-op on Monday and I was getting a little teary-eyed while the nurse was explaining stuff to me. Today I am fine b/c I found out that I made Staff (Air Force). I have a feeling I will be freaking out tomorrow morning. My surgery is scheduled for 0930/central. My mom is flying down from Michigan (my home state).
I just wanted to post and share. Thank you.
