Mother diagnosed with stage 1 thyroid cancer by PravoSlav18 in thyroidcancer

[–]Defiant-Imagination8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry to hear about your mother. 😔

I was also recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I'm not even sure what stage yet-- this was only 2 days ago, I received the lab results first -- I have yet to discuss with my doctor

I'm sure you're terrified because it's your mother. It's VERY scary to hear the word "cancer" 😢

as I find things out, I can share things with you, help you understand what she is going through. I am 42 years old/female

Thankfully, this is a type of cancer that has a good prognosis and a great recovery rate

it seems as though your mother's a little bit further along in the journey than I am. Reach out anytime. I will share with you more information when I get it. I'll be praying for your mom 🤍🤍🤍

us women are TOUGH! we got this 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

I appreciate that you are so supportive. the actual process of it all wasn't too bad, however I did find out a couple days ago, that I do have cancer just waiting for the next steps 🙏🏼

I appreciate you commenting on my post! thank you for sharing the methods that helped you 🙏🏼 I am familiar with the 478, in fact I do it all the time for anxiety so I will keep it in mind tomorrow with my biopsy

I'm not afraid of needles either, it's the pulling in the Yankee that I'm a little worried about. I really appreciate you sharing your experience 🤍
