A Lazy Day to Recover

I cannot believe it is already almost a week into July!  So much has happened in the last year!  Hubby and I got married, he started his job at the foundry, Baby Girl moved out (and is now moving back in...lol!), the kids have all grown and changed so much, and my fibromyalgia and cancer diagnoses.  The latter brought with them a lot of time spent in doctor office waiting rooms, getting tests done, and waiting for results.

Life as I Once Knew it...

Life as I once knew it...well, it is over.  On June 14, 2011, Hubby and I sat in the quiet, white exam room of the surgeon who had just removed half of my thyroid one month earlier.  The surgery was due to a nodule found the right side of my lymph node.  The fine needle aspiration biopsy I had on September 30, 2011 showed the nodule to be benign.  Post-operative testing of the tissue, however, showed suspicion for cancer.  The sample was sent to the Mayo Clinic for a consultation, and...the results were in.
