been a long three weeks

[Dan]

The Tuesday before Thanksgiving my wife's neck was hurting and we noticed a bump so we went to one of the urgent care services. The doctor said she had a "nodule" on her thyroid and that it was probably just an infection, they ran a blood tests which came back clean. The doctor then said they were going to run a thyroid test and that she should see her doctor and an endocrinologist. We see her doctor the day after Thanksgiving and she orders 6 more blood tests, a sonogram and a nuclear scan. We spend the week and a half going to the hospital for tests, all of which come back clean so her doc orders a biopsy on Tuesday. We got the results yesterday and she has Papillary Thyroid cancer. Her doc wants the thyroid removed before the holidays so we meet the surgeon on Tuesday and hopefully we will be done with this before Christmas.

We haven't told our kids yet but are going to this evening.

Thanks for the kind words, it's been a long and emotional 24 hours.

Kids are 21 (girl), 18 (boy) and 14 (boy). Our youngest is mildly autistic so we are trying to figure out what to tell him.

Oh, that's awful news at any time, but especially during the Holidays. Had a friend go through that last year and thankfully is doing much better now. The healing process is rather slow. You all will definitely be in my thoughts.

Guys I cannot tell you how much the kind words, thougths and prayers mean to Diana and I.  I had to shut the door to my office to "compose" myself while reading this.

It's been said before and it will be said again, "the org" is the finest group of people I've had the pleasure of being associated with.
