Hi Nanci, when you say you had radiation? How were you exposed as a child? I had thyroid 4 years ago and doctors kept asking if i was exposed to radiation as a kid.

I had X-ray treatments when I was 11 at Children’s Memorial Hospital. They didn’t know in those days it was dangerous. I had a growth on my neck which they did surgery on. Then the radiation treatments. When I was in my 20’s they notified me I might get thyroid cancer from it. I always watched it and sure enough I got it when I was 58. I am now 78. I am in good health except for the tumors that I have. I am getting an MRI every year to see if they are growing.
