Oh hon - it can be so scary at first but there's *lots* of information and support out there - firstly visit www.cancer.org

I am going to go check that out. Good idea.

or call 1-800-227-2345. Also there is the American Cancer Society island in SL - lots of information there

We also have support groups in world and a friendly Doctor who can help explain it all - his name is Ren Stonecutter & he's happy for you to

IM him to chat.

omg im so sorry to hear that, but keep the hope. my mom has a tumor on her thyroid and is living very well with it since 20 years at least.

I had Thyroid Cancer 22 years ago at the age of 16. I am here for anything you need, day or night - SL or RL.

The forst thing to do is **take care of yourself**, don't panic, find a support network and research.

if you have any questions, PP me or you can email me [email protected].

We're all here for you hon - anytime

take a deep breath, that's where you start.

wow..

So I should be getting the results of the biopsy on Monday, at worst on Wednesday. It will tell what type it is, turns out medullary (sp)

runs in the familly. My uncle passed from it last year.

I've known about the Graves Disease for 6 yrs. No surprises until the doc said "secondary nodule" and then just sent me to the ultrasound

department.. without saying anything else until two days later. Never said 'cancer' until then! That made me angry. But I have gotten

through alot of the anger.

And I really appreciate the support from everyone. I think plurk was messing with me because it didn't let me know anyone responded.

thanks

PS I'm still not smoking. 27 days!
