In Febuary this year a massive lump appeared overnight, and after alot of tests they said do I want it out as they weren't 100% sure it was ok and I said yes as had a bad feeling. Had the operation 17th April, half my thyroid out with the massive lump....6 weeks later I get sat down and told it was palliary thyroid cancer.
Backstory stuff: ex left me a month after op in a not very nice way as found my recovery too much, family are not supportative and went on holiday the week of my operation cause they didnt think it would be a massive deal (offered my a taxi if needed), bestie at the time (ex friend now) didnt care...etc etc.
Since the op I have really struggled with fatigue and muscles aches and neck with shoulder pain....I was feeling better with myself swimming and keeping my nutrients up......but then a two months ago it started getting worse again....
.....spoke to my doctor...they did tests and even though some where just in the green zone they have said it was probably immune system picked up something or the time of year.
Fast forward to this week (I moved to Cambridge for 4 months to get away from family) and thought check into the Maggies cancer centre as was feeling a bit low....the radiologist there that gave me the tour and has thyroid cancer patients said everything I have been going through his patients are too and its not just the weather...I didnt get to ask everything I wanted to (will go back in the new year when they reopen as learn more in 20 minutes than the last 4 months)....I felt like I was going insane and now I just want to cry knowing Im not as I knew I was struggling in recovery.
1. Can anyone give me any info about these symptoms from what drs have said and how to manage?
2. I really want to go back to my doctors (ENT) and say I need support/help as struggling but they were so instant everything I was struggling with wasnt to do with them anymore(wondering if they just hadnt had any thryoid cancer patients before at this point)...what do I do?
