Hi all
I am new here, I got my diagnosis is end March and had my thyroid removed in May at Addenbrookes hospital 1 parathyroid & left full next dissection of lymph nodes in May . I now struggling with lymphodema & survive fatigue . We not long moved so I should be so full of joys of moving & to be honest feel awful , so pleased for the rain & pain to ease . I am waiting to see Onoclogist for treatment plan . I work in health care in operating theatres & nothing prepared me for any of this !!
Hi DOronron and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that you've recently been diagnosed with thyroid cancer and that, following surgery, you've been left with lymphoedema.
I hope you don't mind me recommending that you also join and post in the lymphoedema group as you could then connect with others who have this condition to see how they are coping.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here, and join in with existing conversations by clicking on reply.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
