Hi everyone,

I have had the surgery to remove my cancer ridden thyroid gland in my neck. All went well. Follow up appointment with surgeon on the 8th Nov to chat about pathology report and Radioactive injections in Brisbane. I dont feel too bad..bit sore and tired but not too bad. 

Another hurdle over with. Would be good to have no more to jump over but I have a feeling that wont happen.

Thanks for everyones kind and caring words.

Take Care xoxox Chrissy D :)

Hi Everyone of you lovely people,

I am now faced with my next challenge in my cancer survival. Two malignant tumour has been discovered on my right thyroid gland. They are saying its not secondary breast cancer but another cancer not related. So now I have to face more surgery and possibly more chemo and radiotherapy. It's exactly 1 year since my breast cancer diagnoses. ITs a bit of a kick in the guts but so far I am just trying to wrap my head around everything. Lucky I have great doctors, husband, family, work mates and dear friends to get me over the next hump in the road.
