Treatment

Thyroid cancer is one of the most fixable of cancers but that doesn't make it any less horrible when you are faced with seeing the C-word written down with your name above it.

If you're going to have thyroid cancer, a micro carcinoma is pretty darned good and papillary usually has the best outcome.

So, by all means, have a bit of a panic and nervous moments but try to keep your eyes on the statistics and be reassured that whilst it's horribly scary right now, it's highly likely to all turn out well in the end. 

Good luck tomorrow!

Hi Barbara thanks so much for replying. Just reading your message reassures me and I’m all set for tomorrow. Overnight bag packed and I can do this! Will let you know how it goes xx

If you can - and if you have them - I recommend popping in a pair of slippers and nice dressing gown. That way, you've got more options about how warm or cool you want to be (and you won't have to walk down the corridor in your back fastening surgical gown flashing your bum for all to see.

Haha! That would be a sight for sore eyes I’ll tell you! Think I’ve got my bag and stuff covered and my bum too!! X
