Have just been diagnosed with thyroid cancer so sewing projects will be on
hold while I go into hospital to have the thyroid removed - probably in 10
days. I'll know more when I see the specialist at the end of the week. The
good news is that I don't have to have chemotherapy but instead will have
radioactive iodine. During that period I'll be in isolation so if I have
the strength I'll be able to use some of that time sewing.

Have any of you been through this or know anyone who has?

No experience to report, but wish you the very best of luck with your
treatment and rapid recovery.

Yes, unfortunately!!! The good news is that you can make a
full-recovery but the bad is that it takes a while. Feel free to email
me at museumbitch@yahoooooooooo.coooom (remove the excess letters of
course!) or arkiv2001 at the same and I can tell you all about my
adventures in thyroid land!!! Maybe some of what I went through can be
helpful, I hope.

I just remembered that the photo of me at
http://www.forrestofshadows.com/erin11.htm (scroll half way down the
page) was taken about 2-3 weeks after I drank the radioactive iodine.
As you can see, I survived! :-)

I didn't have to stay overnight in the hospital since they didn't cut
me open and remove any tissue. But, I was told not to hug, hold or even
sit next to any children for two weeks afterward because of residual
radiation!!!

Viviane, we have several family members who have had their thyroid
removed, including one of my younger cousins (she's now 35). They've
done well; the drugs they have now are great.

I'll be thinking about you, my dear, and wishing you godspeed for a
quick and easy recovery.
