Hi Friends, This week I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer which has spread to a lymph node in the right side of my neck. I am still coming to terms with the news and my family too. They have already removed the lymph node.. in fact thats what they did the biopsy on and how they identified the cancer.


I'll be going in for surgery to remove the entire thyroid gland and more lymph nodes soon. I don't know anyone else who has been through thyroid cancer and i thought this woud be a great place to chat with some people who have been through this and share experiences. I'm kinda scared although I'm trying to stay positive.


Anyone who'd like to post their experiences and help with some tips to stay positive .. please do :) Thanks for any support.
