Lisa:

I had my thyroid, the right side of my thyroid, removed to determine if I had thyroid cancer, and not too long ago. It was only in August, and I had a plastic surgeon do it so I wouldn’t have a scar. So you can hardly see, this is what I have that was just done four months ago, pretty amazing, very happy with it.

I know that sounds trivial because they’re checking to see if you have cancer, but you don’t need a physical reminder every day looking at your neck that they cut your neck open.
