The C word... Is so scary whether Cancer is cured, curable or not.. I have to tell you that the minute I heard the word I wanted to crawl into a hole and curl into a ball and be invisible.
It has your mind racing a mile a minute, you don't know what to do next until you process.. And who's to say you even process right away? I was a mess, not for too long , because I had things to handle now. What to do first?
I called my significant other first, then my Mother. And if you are lucky enough to still have your mom and or dad, you know that all you want is to hear it's going to be ok.
And it was, it is. I mean I have a little bit longer to see and know for sure which way it will go, But I have already had the ultra sound, and Biopsy, and removal of my thyroid. Then The radiation, and Body scan.. I had to wait a year until my next scan which we are quickly approaching now.
So I have since gotten the ultra sound, and they saw lymph nodes were unsure about, and some thyroid left on the left side.
My fingers are crossed, and as positive as a person that I am?? I still worry what if?? I leave it in the hands of the big man upstairs.
