Saturday

My thyroid was removed because my parathyroids were keeping my calcium too high, with one parathyroid reimplanted under my collarbone. My thyroid was removed at the same time because one of the nodes was enlarged. Pathologists found encapsulated papillary carcinoma, and all I needed was a daily pill, levothyroxine. No radiation, no followup, just a yearly ultrasound for recurrence. I was very lucky! So was my sister who had her thyroid removed a few years later. Now they can just zap the thyroid with a laser! No surgery! And if they can identify which node has the cancer, they can just zap that node and the levothyroxine is not needed!

So she will probably be around to watch her life dissolve into the penal system. And we can all cheer!
