Recently been diagnosed with having follicular thyroid cancer after having half my thyroid removed, had the rest of it removed two days ago and am now awaiting the results of second part of my thyroid. It has been a massive shock and am now waiting to find out when I will start radioactive iodine to see if it has spread anywhere else. Can't believe I'm 21 with a newborn baby and now cancer, I feel low and I keep getting told it's the best cancer to have, like I'm supposed to be grateful, I am sorry for people going through worse but this has been so upsetting. I'm not sure how to switch of from it, to just ignore it until results, I'm so scared that it might have spread :(
