CamaroSS2000 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 So about a month ago I was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer. On October 22 I had my thyroid removed, they also took a whole bunch of lymphnodes. In doing so they accidently severed one of my vocal cords. I been out of work since yesterday. Talked with the doc and he told me that they got all of the cancer out. I have to do radiation in about a month. I was in the hospital for 4 days...which sucked. Anybody else out there that either have had or know someone who has? I will recover and beat this POS disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the price you have to pay for getting rid of cancer it's worth it. But cancer sucks. It's a sneaky and evil disease. I hope that you got it out of your system!
