As most of you know, I had surgery last week to remove the left lobe of my thyroid. I got the call today that I never wanted to answer and I'm making a blog about what I never thought I would. But I feel like I need to purge this from my insides so that I can move on.
Cancer. Like real cancer. In me. Gross. Just effin gross.
I don't recall very many details of the phone call from the surgeon, but I knew as soon as I heard HIS voice and not a nurse's it was bad news. I told him I didn't want to talk to him. He told me..."something, something, something, 3 cancerous tumors in the piece we've taken out, something, something, the rest MUST come out in the next few weeks, something, something, good prognosis, something, call Rhonda to schedule your next surgery and we'll go from there."
No seriously, that's all I remember. You can ask the same questions 50 more times, but I really don't know anything else. And frankly, I'm pissed off and tired of crying about it. So this will have to serve as the details until I learn more.
My next surgery is Wednesday, October 3rd.
But for now, please, please, please pray for my husband and my kids. Not for me, for them. I just want them to be okay through all of this, no matter what the outcome is going to be.

I just typed a beattiful post and deleted it by accicent, so here is my attempt to recreate it.
ReplyDeleteYou made me tear up Heather and am sorry to hear that it was not as easy as getting it removed. I can not personally relate because I have not had to face this but some people who are close to my heart have and here is what I hope gives you a small piece of mind.
But here is what I'd like to share with you.
At the age of 3 my cousins son was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor on his kidney. they removed the kidney and tumor. He is now 14 and has kicked that cancers ass.
A close family friend had tumor in her brain approx 10 years ago and although she had a relapse she hasnt had regrowth in several years.
Here is my point even though that surgeon said those ugly, scary words to you it isn't un-doable. is undoable even a word?? Anyway..
YOU can also overcome this.
I dont do much in the line of prayer but I will give it my best attempt at sending happy, healing and positive thoughts not only to Your family as you requested but there is plenty of those thoughts for you too.
You are strong and can kick some ass just like the 2 people above. If you need anything you let me know my new # is 515-664-5122. Lots of Love Heather Berry
