Not so good news

Yesterday I got the call and I have thyroid cancer. Well isn’t that just great? I have not spoken with my surgeon yet. My endocrinologist says that it will depend on him what we do next. Usually for a nodule the size of mine-over 4 cm they want to go in and remove the other part of the thyroid and then do radioactive iodine treatments. So am suspecting that this will be the course of action. He also told me that it may have been a direct result of the radiation I had for breast cancer. There is research out there that shows this. I had already read this. Not to mention all the dental X-rays I had over the years with no guards in place. When you go for rads for bc ask them to protect your thyroid. I am disappointed and sad.
