Please pray for me- Thyroid Cancer, too?

Posted by Julie H @jkhagen1, Oct 2 8:36pm

Hi Friends. I had an ultrasound this morning to rule out Hoshimoto's disease and make sure my hypothyrodism was chemo-related. Unfortunately, the early results look like I may have some thyroid cancer (unconfirmed) but there are two nodes with high to intermediate chance of malignancy. SO- who has experience with this? It's been a year since my diagnosis with HPV-SCC- base of tongue and a couple of months since my "Cancer free" PET scan. I'm sad. I'm angry. And I also feel really good and hate the thought of another round of cancer treatment. I love life and want to keep living it!

My thyroid cancer was found in a lymph node that was removed during surgery from HPV related tongue cancer. Prior Thyroid biopsies had all been negative. Once I finished chemo and radiation for the tongue cancer I went back in and had my thyroid removed. I did not have any further chemo or radiation for the thyroid cancer, just removal.
