Suzie, you will meet many others who are attending solo as well. What type of thyroid cancer do you have? What treatments have you had?

I was diagnosed in 1996 with papillary/follicular thyroid cancer had two radiation iodine treatments and now I am in remission, I have nodules in my neck too small to biopsy, so I have ultrasound and bloodwork every year for my follow up. And I’m looking forward to meet other cancer patience and survivors💜😊

I just had my fifth surgery Dec 6th. They removed my lung lady year. I have chondrosarcoma. It is a very rare none cancer. It creates cancer cells in my bones and throws it wherever it likes. Never smoked. I now have seven tumors in my left lung. We will keep watch on those. They are too deep right now to do surgery. I am thankful fir every day that I have. My motto is every day thankful. Life is a gift and I will enjoy each day that I have. I pray that you will overcome your cancer. God bless
