Here's a photo of my cancerous thyroid and lymph nodes after they were removed. Neat, huh?

My current stats:

Thyrogen-stimulated Tg 4.0, TgAB less than 20
(down from hypo-stimulated Tg 16.7 in Dec. 2009)
WBS negative

Life's Lemons, Thyroid Cancer and Living in the Moment

It's been FOR-fricking-EVER since I posted on this silly little blog, but today I feel stricken by the urge to post. I was totally consumed by my thyroid cancer diagnosis, surgery and treatment from late 2007 to sometime in 2011. Not sure why, but 4 years seems to be the longest I can reasonably obsess about something. And thank GOD for that!

I hardly ever think about thyroid cancer anymore, and that is a very good thing. Man, I ran it into the ground: thought, re-thought, analyzed, re-analyzed, researched, researched more, read tons of highly technical "white papers" on my particular variety of thyroid cancer, and I pushed my doctors (of which there were many) to over-treat me. All because I was scared and wanted to gain control.

Dude.

You can't control cancer.

I'm thankful that I've learned this.

2013 is the year of living in the moment, doing things I've always wanted to do, being kinder and more compassionate, and GETTING OUT THERE AND DOING instead of just talking or thinking about DOING.

That said, I gotta go DO SOMETHING!!!
