Best of luck to you and your wife. My wife was diagnosed with thyroid cancer last year and had her whole thyroid removed. Let me know if you have any questions about anything

I have a million...

1. Did they do the biopsy through her neck as well? Or was that just for lymph nodes?

2. Is thyroid cancer the same as lymph nodes?

3. Was your wife tired all the time. Have weight gain? Difficulty breathing?

If there is cancer, how succesful is the surgery? Odds of it returning? Spreading?

How is your wife now?

1. Her's was just through the lymph nodes

2. The cancer traveled through her lymph nodes, so I'd say yes in a way

3. She was definitely way more tired than usual, no weight gain, breathing wasn't different before but is a little different afterwards

4. Surgery went great, like I said in the first post, they took the whole thyroid out so it was about a seven hour process. Odds on returning are pretty low as long as you catch it early enough and get the right treatment. Thankfully with thyroid cancer, the chances of it spreading are basically zero.

My wife is doing great now. She has to take a thyroid pill in the morning for the rest of her life, which basically acts as her thyroid since it's gone. Hearing the word "cancer" is always scary, but there's a ton of great doctors out there who can rock it out. They also told us that although no cancer is good, thyroid cancer is probably the best and easiest one to have. Let me know if you have any questions or just want to talk about it. We can do it here, or private message, or whatever.

I've been an ass....I downplayed it. I guess not really an ass---I just didn't give the situation its due attention. I did find the weight gain odd, though---As she has always been around 130 or so. I even joked with my buddy, "It ain't cancer......its the 2 bowls of cereal at 11pm.... Talk about feeeling like a dick. Then today, she comes home....showers, ans straight to sleep. Just been laying here with her......

You know, you're describing my wife. She rapidly gained wait a few years ago, went through some emotional stuff and is always tired. She sleeps alot. The weight gain has slowed down, but she's still exhausted all the time. And the snoring… .. my goodness.

But that's not the worst. Found out a year ago that she has an "acoustic neuroma". Which is a non cancerous skull based tumor. I'll leave it at that, I don't want to hijack your thread.

Keep us posted, I think everyone here is ready for some good news for a change.
 
I really hope it’s nothing too serious and you can figure out what’s going on and take care of it. Good luck!

This si my wife to a "T". The snoring is something she never did---Now? Sometimes I think a god damn bear is breaking in.

No hijack my friend. If you need to talk about your wifes issues---Do it.
 
Sorry Borden, I’m fried, been thinking it is Wednesday all day and checking this thread every hour. I’m an idiot.

I sleep in the bedroom across the hall more often than I do ours. I don’t give her much of a hard time about it, she's going through things I would never want to deal with.

I don't know what I would do without my wife. I hope her tumor doesn’t grow. Life for us (especially her) won't ever be the same if it does.

But there are people going through so much more right now. I hate to complain when people are losing family members to this virus. Karl Anthony Townes just lost his mom. His world just flipped upside down. All you can do is appreciate what and who you have while you have them.

Stay strong Borden.

I do the same Jeff----I probably sleep in the living room 80% of the time...I don't give any grief, either....I do poke fun. We get a good laugh.
I could not imagine a life that did not invlove her. Just wow. I mean, damn...

Nothing but the best for you and your wife as well...

I mean, it could be worse---right? My mother is almost 70. Has COPD...On oxygen. She does have pneumonia----which they found today. That alone ain't good. She wouldn't stand a chance vs COVID.

Miss the shit out of her, too...She has lived in Utah for the past 6-7 years...Hard to get out there.
