You know how when you start at this blogging thing, you think that you will always write about certain things in your life. You develop a style and that's how you think things will stay? I know when I started this blog in 2001, I was stunned, as was the nation, from the terrorist attacks. Then I became pregnant with our second child. So, it was natural that I went from writing about how those acts of terror changed me, to how this second child was going to change me. Then, it became about how school was changing me. Well, the latest change was something I never thought I would have to write about. I've read a number of blogs that focused on the subject and was always empathetic, but always extremely grateful I never had to write about "that". So, now I will.
Turns out I am in that 20%, and I have thyroid cancer. There is nothing worse in this world than having to tell your husband, friends and family that you have cancer. Fortunately for me, thyroid cancer is THE most curable of cancers. (If you have the type I do, and not Rhenquist, that is.) So, there it is. I have cancer, and I'm extremely optomistic that I will be writing a blog in one year that says, "I no longer have cancer."
I anxiously await that blog, and I will keep you all posted about what is going on with me. I wrote up a document about thyroid cancer, the type I have, and the treatment that lies ahead. If anyone would like a copy, let me know and I'll email it to you.
Have a blessed day!
