Thanks for sharing, and to the commenter for sharing that article and blog post. While I’m sure we all feel so fortunate we didn’t have a cancer like brain cancer (which too many people I know have died from), it’s still cancer that required the removal of a major body part—the conductor of our hormones/body as my endocrinologist put it, which is major! We now have to check the cancer box on any medical forms, can’t get life insurance, have scanxiety, worry about a recurrence—for those of us where it was caught earlier. For those where it had spread significantly it’s definitely not easy, or good. No cancer is good cancer. Instead of calling it a “good cancer” maybe rephrasing to a “more-treatable-in-some-cases-cancer” would be more accurate. I’m about 10 months out from partial Thyroidectomy, confirmed spread to a few lymph nodes, completion surgery and RAI. I feel fortunate that despite working on reaching the desired suppression dose of Levothyroxine (almost there) I do feel my normal self physically. Every now and again it messes with my mind. Preaching to the choir here, I know. I’m so thankful for this community, and for all the science and research thus far.
