This might be a bit of a long post. In the middle of lockdown my husband of 34 years left me, I’d been with my husband since I was 18 and I am devastated, I didn’t see this coming.
At a time when I am at my lowest, my body decides to kick me when I’m down. Had an ultrasound on my remaining side of my thyroid and the suspicious nodule hasn’t increased in size so I was expecting it to be put on watch for another 6 months.
However, the same day I went to see the neurologist about my eyes. He talked about some cancers causing an autoimmune response and that it’s possible that that is attacking my nervous system. He wants the remaining side removed to rule out any possibility of cancer there, but he also can’t rule out that I don’t have another cancer elsewhere in my body causing the autoimmune response.
He is going to speak to my thyroid surgeon, I have to get another MRI, a PET scan, a lumber puncture and a whole load of blood tests. I also have to go into hospital and receive intravenous steroids to suppress my immune system and when my daughter tells my husband this I get the coldest text message ever, saying sorry to hear you’re going in to hospital, hopefully it’ll just be for a day or two, he couldn’t even pick up the phone. I feel so let down
Sorry for the long post, I hope everyone is okay out there, take care x
