Hi, new here as only diagnosed last Wednesday 5 November with thyroid cancer - 44mm follicular cancer and 1.7mm papillary cancer. My diagnosis took 25 weeks and 2 days with a lot wasted time in between. Waiting on a date for second surgery for the left side to be removed and highly likely RAI thereafter. The diagnosis was a massive shock as I was lead to believe if it was bad news I would be back in for surgery even before my 6 week post op. So come post op I was expecting the all clear not the diagnosis I was given. Now the shock is starting to wear off, the diagnosis is starting to sink in and some days are very difficult. Even some moments are difficult. So just really reaching out to connect with people who know what coping and processing looks like.
