Schedule

I am very tired and I need to go to sleep. I promise to catch up on everybody's blogs and emails tomorrow. But, I wanted to give you an update after my meeting with the surgeon today.

First, I've never met a nicer, more compassionate surgeon. When I explained to her that I was most concerned about whether or not the thyroid issue caused E's death (I wanted her opinion in addition to my Endocrinologist's opinion), she nearly cried and she became very emotional. She assured me neither the cancer nor my thyroid caused E to die. And, she felt optimistic that I will not need any treatment beyond surgery. She said that I'll most likely be able to try to conceive shortly after my follow-up appointments.

I was able to get in for surgery very quickly. I'll go in very early Thursday morning and I'll likely stay in the hospital for just one night.

Thank you to each of you for giving so much support while I navigate my appointments and other scheduling. As those of us who've lost a child or children know, these health issues just seem like one more thing. I am grateful that this cancer is so treatable. But still.
