A routine visit turned into a scary dream...

It's silly, I can't even begin to know what to write. Imagine that, me Dayna speachless! So here it is. I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer on Thurs. Nov. 1, 2007. I went into the endocrinologist for a routine appt. and was wanting to get approval from the Dr. for an insulin pump. I instead came out with a thyroid biopsy and the high possibility of papillary cancer. Upon having the biopsy, I was told it would be about a week before the results came back. So, getting a call while I was at work (I work at Heritage High School where Cameron goes to school) was very much a startling, frightening moment. The lump/mass is fairly large, and I am scheduled for surgery Dec. 6th at Kaiser Sunnyside Campus. There are two surgeons and it should take about 3 hours. Below is a link to ThyCa which will tell you the good the bad and the ugly of Thyroid Cancer. I am very optimistic that this is such a curable form of cancer, that I WILL do fine! The boys are doing fine. It is just a difficult time for all of us. I am grateful for the calls and emails from many of you. Thanks so much for thinking of us. Love, Dayna
