All You Need is Love And Someone To Make Ya Giggle

A small check in from life..

Ive been goung through it post thyroidectomy. Wild to think its been almost a year since kt all started.

I got down about myself because i gained all my weight back.. but Im only 5 pounds away from pre surgery size.

99 days until I get married.

Hiiii.

9 days post total thyroidectomy. I had a 1.2 cm papillary carcinoma.

Mayo hospital is hands down the best facility I have ever encountered. From the first phone call, I knew i was in the right place.

An update:

I've spent the last month checking out my thyroid, sort of on a fluke...

My biopsy results came back "suspicious for papilary malignancy" or a Bethesda category 5 nodule. This, with the BRAF postive result means I have a greater than 95% chance of thyroid cancer.

Today I met with an endocrinologist at Mayo Clinic and we have decided to have a total thyroidectomy due to family history and being BRAF positive, which I expected would be the call. He was actually a little shocked I didnt have a list of questions for him. I was probably his easiest appointment he's ever had.

I feel very blessed to have grown up around family who had thyroid issues so I know it's a "simple, best case" sort of situation of all the ones you could ask for. I have had great conversations that have put my mind as much at ease as I think I could be.

My next step is a surgery consultation and then I will get to schedule the removal. As it turns out I'm apparently wildly impatient.

I am wildly exhausted to my core. On to having a sweet matching scar with my momma.

I felt cute today. That is all.

We go on vacation tomorrow! 6 day cruise and 3 days at Disneyworld.

For the love of Ralphie...

Also hi. Heres my face lately.

It's been pretty cute.

Thank you!
