Hello everyone
My name is Tony, I am from Dublin originally but now living and working in Derry in Northern Ireland. I am 49, and will be turning 50 in December.
I got diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer 2 weeks ago after spending a week in hospital getting various tests done including a biopsy which is where the diagnosis came from. I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to get my head around it all. It doesn't feel real, and doesn't feel like it is me when I talk about it.
I had my first ENT appointment this morning in Derry's Altnagelvin Hospital but there had been a mix up about my results. The doctor couldn't see the results that my GP had sent and they were suggesting that they would have to re-start the tests until the previous results had been uploaded. But they found them, but basically too late in my appointment, so I have to go back tomorrow morning again, and will hopefully know more tomorrow.
Tony
