Update from my specialist appt. today....

Well, because the nodule on my thyroid is larger than 3cm, they cannot biopsy it. They said it is too large to get an accurate reading. So, the only way to know if it is cancer is to take it out.

I have surgery scheduled for 1/18. They will remove the left side of the thyroid at least, if they find cancer, they will remove the right side also.

If it is cancer, I will have to take a radiation pill 5 weeks later, then have to be in isolation for 1 week after taking the pill. I couldn't even TOUCH Rooney!

Anyway, thanks for all your prayers, please pray that it is not cancer, because I don't want to be bubble girl!

My baby looks sad tonight, doesn't he? He wuvs givin' his Mama hugs! I sure do need them!

Thank you so much everyone... I am

actually pretty calm, just want to have the surgery now so I can get on with it. Thank the Lord I have Rooney to give me some luvvin' (and hubby too, of course). Have a wonderful Christmas and take the time to enjoy your family and friends. You all will be in my prayers too, safe travels to those going away from home!

Kristen...

We will be sending you our best, but I just know that you will hang tough and come out just fine. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Kristin.....Long

I had a friend who went through this.  She came through great.  The radiation had very little side effects with her and she said they have you breath in some little tub thingy everyonce in a while and that determines alot of how long you are in the hopital ect.  She said this is a very easy form of cancer to beat and overcome.  Also she said you will be on thyroid medication for the rest of your life.  The good thing with your type is you don't have to worry about gaining weight.  There is another type that causes you to gain a ton of weight.  I hope you recover well.  And just to let you know if you are worried about scars... her scar is very small and hardly noticeable.  My mom has breast cancer which as moved to her liver and she has been diagnoses with termial mesticised breast cancer.  If you need to talk please don't hesitate to email me or call and I would have no problem talking with you.  I can also point you toward some resources and support groups for you and your family.  Take care of yourself and know we are thinking of you.  And that stinking Rooney is one of the prettest dogs I have ever seen.  I want on just like him. I love the color!  Take Care and we are sending you much love and bully hugs and kisses.

I'm sure it will turn out to be nothing!!!

Keeping positive thoughts for ya...would hate to have you be in a bubble. lol That would suck!
