Hi everyone,
I have had the surgery to remove my cancer ridden thyroid gland in my neck. All went well. Follow up appointment with surgeon on the 8th Nov to chat about pathology report and Radioactive injections in Brisbane. I dont feel too bad..bit sore and tired but not too bad.
Another hurdle over with. Would be good to have no more to jump over but I have a feeling that wont happen.
Thanks for everyones kind and caring words.
Take Care xoxox Chrissy D :)
Thats excellent to hear you are on the mend. Good luck with your future tests and hope all goes well. Dot xxx
Yay for good results Chrissy. Yes i have to agree you are one tough chicky babe. Wishing you all the best. Loretta xxx
Hi everyone, Thank you for all your lovely encouraging comments. I have good reults from pathology and ssurgeon on the 8th Nov. He got all the thyroid out,,,no damage to voice box nerves ( so I have my voice still and dont sound like darren lockeyer)
I still will have to go to see DR Pratt - Rad Oncologist- visiting Bundy on 2 dec. Will arrange appointment in brisbane for radio active iodine injections to kill any left over cancer which may be still lerking. Stay in isolation ward for a few days till all radioactive stuff is out of my system.
Then the next thing is abnormalities in my small bowel following CT scan. My have to have colonoscopy and camera down throat to check things out but that may not be until early next year.
So my journey continues...just as you get one thing under control andother pops its ugly head up.
Lucky I'm made of tough material and kick it's arse each time it shows up.
I hope you all are doing well and handling all the treatments and live each day to the full.
Love to all hugs and kisses to you all
Chrissy D:) xoxo

Hi Chrissy, Glad that the surgery is over for you. Do you still have "bull dog" clips across your neck? Maybe the technique is more advanced than years ago when I had my thyroid removed. It is amazing how the scar just blends in and is not noticeable at all. Will be thinking of you on 8th Nov as I will be heading off to Brisbane to get my genetic testing results on 9th Nov. Try and not stress too much until then - what is - is. XLeonie
Glad to see you back from the darkside.Yes,we certainly start to feel like circus ponies jumping over hurdles and through hoops! I'm glad you are not too sore. Ofcourse that 1 week pathology results wait is a real hoot isn't it. Take care and my thoughts are with you for the 8th.
luv Tonya xx
