I am a thyroid cancer survivor.

Welcome.  I’m a 32 year old male living in United States.  I was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer in Jan 2009.  This blog is my story. Having thyroid cancer has been very scary.  I have gone through many ups and downs with my treatments and doctor experiences.  I have had some very positive experiences, but unfortunately the start was very rough. 

Overall, I am doing excellent and I’m living a normal happy life.  I hope you can learn from my experiences. Please take a moment and read through my blog and recommend it to anyone you feel could benefit from my story.  O, this is my dog, Summer.  She provided entertainment and comfort through this whole process.  You’ll see some more pictures of her throughout my website. 

I have arranged my story into chapters.  I would recommend starting at the beginning.  It will take you about 5 minutes to read all my entries from the beginning to the end.  Enjoy.

                       Chapter 2 -      My Thyroid Surgery

                       Chapter 3 -      My Radiation Treatment
