I started this blog to record my thoughts about my cancer journey. It has been nice to reflect on the different emotions, and things me and my family have gone threw the past year and a half. I'm 30 years old and was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer when I was 28. I hope this blog will help others if they ever have to go through the same thing. Just a note be sure to start at my very first post and read backwards. When I post it will enter in my most recent thoughts! Sami

5-18-2010



Just thought I'd do a really quick update. I've had a lot of phone calls this morning and I'm sorry that I haven't answered them. I am so exhausted today, mostly due to my little 1 1/2 year old who decided to be up all night the past 2 nights. I do think he probably feels my stress and knows that something is up. So yesterday I had my full body scan. I had to lay their for a hour and not move. The machine slowly went up my entire body and took pictures. You could hardly see it even moving. Today the doctors office called and said that their is a lot of cancer in my neck area so they are going to give me a pretty big dose of Radiation. I think she said 120 mg...but I'm not sure. They said hopefully they can get all of it, if not I'll have to do this all over again in 6 months. But who knows right, since every doctor I see seems to have their own opinion. So I will finally start my treatment Thursday which is only 2 days away but seems like forever, that I am just glad they could get me in.
