Hi, had thyroidectomy yesterday. Also had pheochromocytoma removed August 2020. First time on here. I didn't know what to do or where to go
Hi Kezdon and a second welcome to the online community as I can see my friend Mike Thehighlander welcomed you when you posted in New to the Community a couple of days.
"Feeling lost and deeply sad about it all" is a common feeling when you've had a cancer diagnosis. Neither mine nor Mike's cancer was thyroid but we all have a common bond in recognising those emotions. Feeling sad may come and go during your treatment but most of us find that feeling sad gradually eases as we go through and complete our treatment. However, if you feel that you are becoming depressed then please seek the help of your GP who can help you find ways to cope.
I'm 'tagging' Jackro into my reply to you as she has recently posted about her thyroidectomy, which she had a year ago, and might be able to tell you about her experiences and also KAM14 who, like you, was also diagnosed with medullary thyroid cancer.
If you feel that talking to someone over the phone would help then I'd recommend that you give the Macmillan Support Line a call on 0808 808 0000. It's free to call and someone's available every day from 8am to 8pm.
