What a pain in the neck.........Cancer

So I have this little "pain in the neck " going on in my life right now. I have thyroid cancer. I thought cancer would be something I wouldnt have to think about until I was "old". I really have always tried to take care of myself. So just one little bump in the road, or "pain in the neck" so to speak.

I had surgery two months ago. I am just in a waiting period I guess. Some days I am exhausted , but just do what I have to do.

I was never a medicine taker and now I have to take a pill every day the rest of my life to survive, so ironic I guess.

I have heard a million time" If you had to pick a cancer this is the one you would want." Easily cured. It still stinks. I am still young and have this friggen scar on my neck, for the whole world to see. In the beginning I had some stares and a few people even made comments to each other or TRYINg not to make it obvious. I do get a bit weird about it, but it is bothering me less and less. I will survive.

I am not looking forward to radiation, that is yet to come. I am not sure when. It will be hard having to stay away from the kids and Bob. i know that is going to make me really sad, but we will get through it, like we get through everything else. Bob and the kids are worth it to me, to hang around for a really long time.
