Wow - Who would have thought

hi everyone,
As most of you know, I received a bit of news this weekend. Rather than trying to relate the story and make sure everyone knows what is going on , I thought it might be easiest to write it online and allow you to access it yourself. I do enjoy the phone calls, so keep them coming!

I found out last Wednesday, March 25th that I have papillary carcinoma, a form of thyroid cancer. My Dr's have been following the nodules for three years, many people have them, only 5% turn cancerious. On a positive note, it is very curable, which is not often a word that shares the same sentence as cancer.

I will be having surger on April 24th to have everything including my thyroid removed. I could have had only the left side removed, but was told there was a 90-95% chance I would have to have surgery again in two weeks for the full removal to be safe. Needless to say, I would like to avoid extra surgeries (not to mention I am heading on vacation to Las Vegas and San Diego a few weeks later!).

Anyway, this is really all I know for now - I just wanted to find an easy way to keep people in the know and to share the facts. Feel free to ask questions or give me a call, I'm always up for good conversation.
