That is just so scary and suckola that I am not sure what to say. The thing is even if it&#39;s bad news it&#39;s better to get help as soon as possible so I really hoped you called!

And my thyroiditis luckily became a great excuse for my bitchiness as well...The word goiter is not pretty. Neither is a goiter, as is evidenced by the lovely John McCain. anyway, my point is that thogh I&#39;m sure you don&#39;t have the big C, I totally understand where you&#39;re coming from and have had all those exact same thoughts about what would happen to my kids if something happened to me...GO TO THE DOCTOR, ok?Kamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17593911677156643002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-61347735019599472802010-02-11T11:11:05.593-05:002010-02-11T11:11:05.593-05:00praying for you.Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16518741920689939720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-24295428135432355662010-02-10T13:57:56.644-05:002010-02-10T13:57:56.644-05:00Lady! You need to take care of yourself. Get yourself to a doctor, if only for reassurance that everything is alright. Putting it off only keeps it on your mind.Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13794568126280605188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-37401887008686825262010-02-09T23:42:47.075-05:002010-02-09T23:42:47.075-05:00Oh honey, I didn&#39;t know you had a thyroid issue at FSU. Wow! To go through that program and having those issues. Toward the end of my time in Tally, I was put on a thyroid med myself. It was taken off of it at PSU, but now I&#39;m on it for the rest of my life. <br /><br />.... I have a friend who fought throat cancer for a year. She won... and wrote more of her dissertation than I did for mine! Truth be told, she should not have won. The odds were against her. She had sever anorexia, her heart stopped during one surgery, and I can&#39;t count how many hospitals she was in or surgeries she had. I think had surgeries in 4 states. But, somehow, we all knew she would pull through. She also has an amazing faith and connection with God. She discovered her cancer from a rupture. I dont think you have throat cancer, but I told you about my friend because I want you to know it isn&#39;t the end of the world. It&#39;s one heck of a trip, but you are a very strong woman and you&#39;ll manage. She was a great source of strength for me over these past few months. <br /><br />Over these last few months, I&#39;ve been up and down with my issues. It&#39;s this, no wait, it&#39;s this,... oh wait, we have no idea, but you&#39;ll have to keep getting checked for this horrible disease. Good times. I recognize the pharmacy and my doctor&#39;s office phone numbers. ... I say this because not knowing really is worse than knowing. And, I&#39;ve played all of the what if games and the thoughts that come from fear and your own mortality. <br /><br />It will drive you crazy. The tests are a pain. The insurance company is even worse. But make the call. Get the tests. Dont worry about the scars. They are just badges of courage (and they aren&#39;t that big anymore). ... as for me? snowmageddon canceled my latest round of doctors&#39; appointments. I&#39;ll survive and so will you... after all we survived FSU.The Inquisitive Travelerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01572812363539220967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-6701843151231858482010-02-09T20:39:56.835-05:002010-02-09T20:39:56.835-05:00It is going to sound odd but yesterday, I just had a thyroid ultrasound yesterday. <br /><br />We are going through very similar things. <br /><br />I too have to call tomorrow.Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10399156539354549499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-20528776881438934592010-02-09T17:32:27.792-05:002010-02-09T17:32:27.792-05:00Lots of hugs!Hylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05370684363916495048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-40724670629180617842010-02-09T16:54:53.269-05:002010-02-09T16:54:53.269-05:00I&#39;m sorry you&#39;re struggling with this. I agree with the others and say you should call right away just in case it is something. They always say the earlier the better. I also know how easy it is to say that as I&#39;m not the person that has to make the call. Just know we are all thinking about you and sending you positive vibes.2Wired2Tiredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08537905575190521235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-30286810375346378412010-02-09T15:24:12.541-05:002010-02-09T15:24:12.541-05:00Ouch! Try not to think of the worst possible outcome. Just enjoy your time with your family and everything will turn out ok. You&#39;ll manage. Even if it does end up being cancer, Wayne will be able to take some time off (family leave or something) and I&#39;m sure other family members would come to help out.daniii♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/16521884348163253629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-5627371084230633912010-02-09T15:01:44.710-05:002010-02-09T15:01:44.710-05:00I have palpable nodules on my thyroid that need to be checked out with an uptake scan involving the radioactive dye. I keep saying that I&#39;ll go when I&#39;m not pregnant or nursing. <br /><br />That&#39;s my excuse. <br /><br />The reality is that it scares the skunk out of me to think of anything wrong... let alone cancer.<br /><br />But you&#39;re right... the call should be made.<br /><br />I truly hope and pray you get to the docs only to find out it&#39;s something minor at worst, or nothing at all, at best.<br /><br />Hugs to you!Jen @ Rolling Through Looneyvillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14286472773512959554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-51744228968651016692010-02-09T14:56:23.444-05:002010-02-09T14:56:23.444-05:00I know how you feel.

I feel your pain. No, really. I&#39;m dealing with my own cancer scare right now. It&#39;s enough to make you want to throw up, isn&#39;t it?<br /><br />But hopefully it&#39;s nothing. And even if it isn&#39;t, they&#39;ll prob&#39;ly be able to cure it lickety split before your babies even know.<br /><br />Good luck...Amber Page Writeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03288534853490787988noreply@blogger.com
