in Thyroid Cancer #1

Hi, folks!

I found out two weeks ago that I have papillary carcinoma. Of course I have been scouring the internet for information. I have an appointment with an ENT specialist a week from today and will hopefully have a surgery date set ip at that time. I would appreciate any suggestions, tips for preparing for whats ahead of me from those of you who have already been dealing with this. I hope to be a source of encouragement for you and receive the same. Thank you for any info you can offer.

    I would say to go to the best treatment center, teaching hospital, that is within your area and means. Probably have further testing for staging. You likely will have a total thyroidectomy. Any other test or treatment will depend on the staging. Trust in your faith, family, and friends. You will get through this. Take it one day, one week at a time. Come back if you have any further questions that I or others may be able to help with.

    DITTO and well said, big G.

    You may be in for the long haul or it may be removal and done. GOOD doctors that you trust explicitly. Family and support. Most importantly, Almighty Lord and Savior.

    FAITH over fear.
