I joined the club yesterday...

Hi guys, I'm 33yrs old and thought it could be useful to sign up to the forum. I'm not sure whether this is the correct forum/place to go into detail but after a couple of ultrasound needle biopsys, I got given the news that I've got thyroid cancer yesterday. 

Not entirely sure how I feel about it yet but hated how upset it's made my loved ones more than getting the actual news I think. According to the surgeon things are fairly straightforward and he was very positive about it, so I'm hoping that remains the case.

Anyway I just wanted to introduce myself because I'll be using the site/forum to do more reading about it all and maybe as a place to talk about stuff too. 

  • Hi I am new to the forum as well. Only joined yesterday. I do not have cancer but my husband has so I can say that yes your family will be upset, frightened and worried, but they will be there for you and support you every step of the way. You just concentrate on your treatment and hopefully it will be as the surgeons have told you "fairly straightforward". Please keep us informed as to how you get on.

     

    Best Wishes
