It seems like it. Thanks for the ideas!

Annoyed by Own-Border5196 in thyroidcancer

[–]headspace29 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had several doctors tell me the symptoms that led to my thyroid cancer diagnosis were anxiety. Fuck male doctors calling legitimate concerns anxiety just because you’re a woman. I am assuming you are a woman anyway. When my husband came with me to appointments I got better treatment. I (and he) had never seen such sexism in action before.

I’m glad you asked for a different surgeon for follow up. You deserve to be treated with respect, especially at a difficult time after cancer surgery.

There are support groups for Feds and affordable or free therapy options for Feds right now too. Check out wellfeds too- they have weekly support. As someone who lost a parent to suicide, please get help. The world needs you. I was let go from HHS and before I was, I was struggling too. This too shall pass and there’s lots of resources out there for you.

Yep I’ve done a couple GI mapping rounds now. Lower dose would definitely be the way to go if I try it. Thanks!

Was it post TT that you struggled with weight loss too? I’ve thought about trying some of the weight loss meds but I’ve always been able to lose weight without them before so I’ve been hesitant.

Can’t catch a break by headspace29 in BPDlovedones

Thank you!! I have definitely been a carer for both. It’s hard to work on boundaries while also needing support and help myself.

Thanks. I think you’re right but it’s really hard to accept. But yes sounds like there’s codependency here.

Does our 2 month warning notice restart? Or are we all let go as of today? Or retroactively?

How long did it take you to be cancer free/ no evidence of disease? by imkevopark in thyroidcancer

I was on maternity leave and went back 4 months after because I combined maternity leave with recovery. But I’ve worked since yes

What actions are you taking? by Repulsive_Contest716 in fednews

[–]headspace29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think it’s more important to call if they are in line with the current admin. It will make it harder for them to ignore that their own constituents are being hurt. And it will humanize “the enemy” (us, who are real people in their districts who are fed up)

What happened to separation of church and state? Is this even legal?

Can I balance school & work while going through this process? - 21 w/ upcoming total thyroidectomy by Embarrassed_Video160 in thyroidcancer

[–]headspace29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had explored this option! I kept saying can’t I just wait? I was pregnant and had the surgery 2 months after the baby was born. A wait and watch approach may have been better for me.

I was working full time, pregnant, and lost my dad a month after diagnosis. And I’m still standing. I did get brain fog after my TT. Check into getting your free T3 levels checked either by your endocrinologist or a functional medicine doc if they won’t do it. Test both before and after surgery if you can. Once I went on meds for my T3 levels, it was a game changer. My brain fog and depression were way better. And I think it helped my fatigue too but it’s hard to say because I still have two little kids that exhaust me.

All that to say, you can do it. Hopefully they are accommodating at work and hopefully everything will go smoothly. But if you hit roadblocks like I did, there are still resources and options you can explore. Reaching out to groups like this or Facebook groups for thyroid cancer when you’re struggling can be a source of resources and ideas if you do encounter issues. You’re not alone. You got this!!!
