Lisa:
You’re really on eggshells. Thyroid cancer is a very curable cancer. It rarely spreads outside the thyroid, but still wasn’t comforting to me because I had a 6-month year old son. Coming from a mother who died of cancer when I was 6 years old and diagnosed when I was 6 months old, it was really crazy and hit full circle.
It was really hard to stay grounded, which led to severe depression, having to take anti-anxiety drugs, Xanax, and it was really hard and difficult, it was really difficult to focus on my baby and I felt very guilty that I might have a cancer that could potentially kill you and that I would leave him in the same way that I felt that cancer had affected me when I was a child.
