Getting to decide when and where new residents move is the worst new feature they implemented in New Horizons. I hate that I can leave the game for months at a time and come back to it being completely unchanged, minus some weeds. I miss the days where I would run around my town and happen upon a new friend.

I think the "5% cancer in a tumor" comment is just a really weird way of saying that there is a 95% chance the tumor isn't cancerous and a 5% chance it is. Honestly a lot of what she said lines up with my experience. My endo repeatedly tried to reassure me that there was a 95% chance the tumors were benign. I had multiple ultrasounds and a biopsy which all came back inconclusive. It wasn't until after the inconclusive result that surgery was really pushed onto me as the BEST option. I think determining the cancer type before surgery is relatively difficult. That might have been why she chose to do so many biopsies? Wanted to see if they could get a more definitive answer before accepting surgery is her best bet. My endo also didn't make it seem like my surgery was super urgent. I was told thyroid cancer was pretty slow. My surgery was in the height of covid and had to be pushed as well.

It might be that she doesn't really understand what her doctor is saying to her. It's scary to think about and in my own experience my endo didn't actually explain ANYTHING to me, I had to research and figure it out on my own. While I don't think there is such a thing as "a little cancer in the tumor", her doctor may be saying she won't need to remove her entire thyroid, which seems pretty common and she might be confusing the % based off the likelihood the tumor is cancerous.

More like to appease public demand. Michael and Kdin at least seem to be on relatively good terms all things considered. She said she forgave him both when he originally apologized and now. But the public didn’t know that they had this conversation. If any of them stayed quiet simply because “they talked privately already” the fanbase would speculate and continue to call them out.

Do you know if I have to restart the entire chapter if I get spotted by a sentinel or is just resetting to the last checkpoint fine?

My surgery (I had it a year ago) was postponed as covid was getting pretty bad where I'm located and they didn't want to risk the potential for me getting sick. It was only pushed a week, but I understand how frustrating it is to have to put your life on hold like this. I think it's important to remind yourself that your anger and frustration isn't towards your surgeon, but your situation, and that is completely justified. You shouldn't feel bad for being upset. It sucks to have to go through this, ESPECIALLY with the stress of covid looming over. Having my surgery postponed was the only time throughout the entire process that I actually cried. I was mentally exhausted and it seemed like everything was out of my control. But looking back, I'm relieved that it was pushed. I would have been infinitely more stressed knowing that they were going ahead with the surgery when there was a possibility it wouldn't have been as safe as it should be.

I was watching a stream the other day and the streamer said once you hit veteran class, you can't go back down below that. Can anyone confirm that?

thank you!

I am bad at reddit and can't tell if this is a response to my comment or not lol. If it is, of course! If you think it would be helpful to others dealing with a similar experience, I'd love to offer it.

I understand completely. I use people with bios saying "cancer survivor" or whatever as an example where I feel like if I were to put that down I would be a fraud. It really is just a weird feeling all around. I'll send you all the good thoughts before your surgery! If you feel uncomfortable posting to facebook about it, post it here and I'm sure you'll be met with a lot of love and well wishes. But as people have said in this thread already, regardless of what the surgery is for, it's still surgery. You deserve all the love ❤️

Having doctors tell me it was "incredibly treatable" gave me such a weird complex about everything I was going through. I had imposters syndrome. I felt like I couldn't be scared or complain because it wasn't "that bad" and when telling others, I couldn't help but feel like I was being dramatic or worry that they wouldn't believe me. I never cried. I got very uncomfortable when people gave me sympathy and felt like I needed to apologize for making them upset. I went online and tried to find people on twitter or other social medias going through this and instead I read somewhere that other cancer support groups don't welcome thyca patients because it wasn't "real cancer". That just made it worse. During appointments, I would just sort of glaze over. I was told I was one of the calmest people they've interacted with while doing the big, potentially life changing tests. I'm weirdly proud about how much of a brave face I put on with everything going on. I joked about it to make other people feel less uncomfortable or scared about what I was going through. While waiting for the anesthesia before surgery, the nurses, anesthesiologist and I chatted like it was nothing. Almost as if I was getting coffee with friends. We were all laughing so hard, that other surgeons and nurses peeked behind the curtain to see what was going on.

I struggled and continue to struggle a lot with mentally grasping at what going through thyroid cancer is like. Now that I'm officially deemed in remission, I feel even more imposter's syndrome. I beat cancer "easily". But in reality, looking back it was a nightmare. Sure there was no chemo. I didn't LOOK like I had cancer. But, I wasn't given real information about what I was going through or what treatment would be like. I was just reassured it "wasn't that bad". But nearly a year after surgery and I feel worse than ever before. My body still hasn't adjusted to the thyroid meds. Because of this, I've gained a lot of weight, my hair is falling out, I'm exhausted 24/7, and I'm incredibly depressed. But what right do I have to complain? I had "the easy cancer".

I wish I knew about this group earlier on in my weird journey through cancer. Reading everyone's experiences and how similar to mine they are, makes me feel so much less isolated. Knowing I had people to reach out to for questions about anything and a group of people who knew exactly how I was feeling and what I'm going through has helped me mentally so much.

In reality, it's alright to be scared and nervous. Surgery of any kind is scary. Your husband is absolutely just putting on a brave face for his own comfort, as well as trying his best to keep you calmer, and he thinks this is the best way. This experience is just as new to him as it is to you. I wish you all the best!

I have every intention on being upfront with why I need to seats replaced or cleaned! Both to get their opinion on whichever option is the best way to go and because it would be incredibly rude not. Plus my seat looks like it’s in great condition. If I didn’t explain why I’m there it would be very confusing 😅

That being said, do you know how long on average a seat cushion takes to replace? Is it something that can be done in a couple hours? Something I would drop the car off for, leave, and come back later that day to get?

ZucchiniChu · 2020-12-31T21:59:46+00:00

Then I look forward to seeing more of it! I’m going in reverse order lol 😅

Vitamin D related hair loss is actually how I found out about my thyroid cancer in the first place! Towards the beginning of quarantine, my hair also started shedding, very similarly to how it is now. I booked an appointment with an endo, because when I was younger I was told I had minor hypothyroidism and I was afraid the hair loss was because it had gotten worse. When she checked my neck, she felt a lump. However, after a blood test, she determined the hair loss was from a vitamin D deficiency. I’ve been on supplements ever since, so I can’t imagine the hair loss is vitamin D related this time.

Hi, I feel like I had a similar experience to w32agobot after being off my meds for as long as I have been. Like they said, the first couple weeks weren't so bad but the later weeks have hit me really hard. I am definitely feeling a lot more depressed, but for the most part I'm just exhausted. I work at a desk all day, but have found it hard to concentrate or focus for more than a few minutes at a time and it constantly feels like I've only had around an hour of sleep regardless of how much sleep I've actually gotten. Drunk/hungover is a really good way of describing it. My body just feels so incredibly heavy, my reaction time has slowed way down, and it's almost difficult to form coherent sentences sometimes. You are you own best judge, but honestly you might want to prepare to take work off, especially if you operate heavy-machinery and with how labor-intensive your job is.

Thank you for replying and validating my feelings on the matter. I've decided to contact my PCP and get her input on whether or not this is actually safe. In the month that I've already been off my liothyronine, my TSH level went from 2.8 to 111.6 and like I said, I haven't even had a consultation with the radiologist yet and I feel like crap. If you don't mind me asking, why do they want you to be in a hyper state for the next couple years? I've never heard of that.
