  1. Well I came home today after 9 days in hospital and 2 major surguries,
    how do I feel? exhasuted! The first op on friday removed the lump on
    my thyroid, full anathetic and 5hour on the intensive station, loads
    of painkillers ughh. Monday go the results back, no good news, the
    lump was cancerous so off for more surgery to remove the whole thyroid
    same proceedure basically as friday but more painful. I now have to
    have radiotherapie before I can start with the thyroid hormones (
    about 6 to 12 weeks or so) On the whole I feel optimistic but have a
    few down phases each day. I am very concerned about not gaining weight
    in the next few weeks, I am tried and don't feel up to exercising,
    after a 15 min walk I sleep to 2 hours. I have load of reading to do
    as you guy have been busy while I was away.
    Sore tired but glad to be back

  6. Glad to hear you came through the surgery okay. Give your
    body plenty of rest as you will need all of the strength you
    can get for the radiotherapie. You will be in my thoughts
    and prayers for a speedy recovery.

  9. Sorry to hear that news but I am sure you will make a
    complete recovery and the replacement hormones will get you
    perking right along soon.

    Again, I hope you feel better as soon as possible and
    keep those spirits up in spite of what has to have been a
    real trial.

    Best,

    Fred

  10. Glad to see you back Michelle. I'm also glad the surgeries
    went well and you are now done with that stage.

    Don't worry if you gain weight or not. As I understand it,
    radiotherapy doesn't exactly make you hungry and as long as
    you are eating you are recovering.

    Hang in there and get pleanty of rest. Recovery will happen.

  14. Welcome back Michelle, glad to hear the surgeries went well
    and you are once again home. Those down feelings are normal,
    don't worry (easy for me to say, huh?). Top priority is
    getting yourself well again, the rest will fall into place
    later. If you want to sleep, then sleep. Listen to your
    body. It's normal to feel tired after surgery - takes quite
    some time for the body to recover fully from the stress it
    has been under.

    It's wonderful to hear from you again, I had been
    thinking of you.

  15. Michelle I have a sister who has gone the same road as you
    have, two surgeries for thyroid cancer and radiotherapy. She
    has had a hard slog back but it is now twelve months down
    the track and she is getting it together. Tiredness was her
    enemy as well and weight fluctuations.If you would like I
    can send you her email privately and you can maybe compare
    notes and she may be able to tell you how she coped. All the
    very best with your recovery. Cheers Carol
