My Name is Jenn- I am 28 years old and will be having a total
Thyroidectomy in the next few weeks. I was told about three weeks ago
I could have Thyroid Cancer after a large mass was found on my
isthmus. This came two months after finding out my Dad had stage four
throat, larnxy and lung cancer. Through out the last three weeks I
have been to four different doctors including a Ear Nose and Throat
Specialist and a Endocrinologist. Making my total Doctor visits and
hospital visits to ten in the last two weeks. After several biopsies
and a Thyroid Scan I was told two days ago I would require a total
Thyroidectomy. I am extremely scared...but thyroid issues are not new
to me…I have been suffering from Hypothyroidism since I was seventeen
and also have Hashimoto's Thyroditis.
