Bad news from the doc today

[88GT]

As some of you might recall me mentioning a time or two, in 2008 I underwent treatment for papillary thyroid cancer. 2013 marks the 5-year follow-up procedure, which starts with an ultrasound of the neck.

It was scheduled and completed this morning. At 5:30 this evening my doctor calls me at home. (My doctor never calls me personally.) Uh-oh. I have abnormal lymph nodes and need a biopsy to determine if the cancer has spread.

Metastasis is greater than 50% in papillary cases, so despite my doc's attempts to reassure me that this is probably nothing--that's what they all said with the original ultrasound showing the massES on the thyroid, I'm not really a happy camper right now.

And quite frankly, scared ****less.

You have my thoughts and prayers, GT. Relax and be well. Worry is 100% non productive and doesn't do anything good at all.
Hard advice to follow, I know. But true nontheless.

Thoughts prayers with you. We're dealing with cancer right now as well, and I know how stressful it is on the family and friends.

I second the hug.

As I have mentioned, I am in remission for a cancer with no cure at this time. I am way out past the end point that 97% have not made it past. Everyday is a blessing and every breath a gift. I say this to let you know there is hope.
Prayers and positive thoughts to you and the family. This is hard on them as well.
Never give up.
