Update

Wow, I can't believe how much time has gone by since I have posted! All is well, I feel great, no significant weight gain, no hair loss.. Just tired.. That could be from the pregnancy.. They are adjusting my levels, but I feel pretty good!

A little sore at the incision site still.. Nothing I can't handle :)

I was so afraid that I was going to lose myself, but I am still me. Just without a thyroid!

The pathology report came back on my thyroid.. When they took it out, they sent it to a lab and they found that I had both papillary and follicular cancer. They took out some lymph nodes as well that were cancerous. It is creepy to know that I had that much cancer in there and didn't know it.. If I was never pregnant, I would have never known until it was too late. In all ways possible, this baby saved my life.

I have a whole new outlook on Cancer. It must be stopped. There has got to be a cure somewhere. Maybe lurking in the fungus of a rainforest tree, or maybe it is something simple like a bacteria that can cure it. I proudly support cancer research and know in my heart a cure will be found someday.
