Well my plans for the beach were interrupted on Wednesday w/Bad News!
Let me start from the beginning, Our friends Mark, Vickie & their daughter Catherine (who's 20) lives with me, my husband Todd & my daughter Jessica (who's 17). Vickie who is my best friend, just found out on Wednesday that she has Thyroid Cancer. She is 44, is Bi-Polar, has MS & now has Thyroid Cancer
what more can this woman take?? :(
A few months back she went to a Dr for Lap-Band surgery & during a exam he found a growth/nodule. Her ultrasound showed a growth the size of a 1/2 dollar & it is starting to block her windpipe/trachea. I've been going with her to her Dr appt's the last one was to the Endocrinologist where they did a 10 needle biopsy. This is how they found the cancer. It's not in the nodule but in the thyroid itself. The Dr also found the nodule on the thyroid, in a MRI done of her brain in 2007.  It's been there 3 yrs & no one has found it til now. WTF!!!
