As I laid on our couch going in and out of sleep my cell phone rang. It was a number from Georgia…I knew it was my surgeon with the results from my biopsy. My heart race as I reach for the phone. My surgeon went straight to the point “the pathology report shows stage one papillary carcinoma.” My heart just fell out of my chest. Yet again, I was speechless. I was now living my nightmare. I asked myself, how could I possibly have thyroid cancer? But I did have thyroid cancer....

It’s the beginning of July and no doctor appointment yet. I have had a change of health insurance and I am still figuring out the new system. Now that I have a “pre-existing condition” I am curious how this may affect my health coverage. I didn’t have any laps of insurance so hopefully I am fully covered. Because I have had thyroid cancer I’m sure this will always come up with insurances....
