You are my hero! I know I can call on you when I need some info. Still waiting on the results from my scan and such. Hopefully it's not cancer but if it is we can be survivors together!

A long time ago, Todd told me about someone he knew who had had thyroid cancer. I now know he was talking about YOU. I would love to hear your whole story someday...when you're ready to put it all down in words.

Yay--you are awesome! So glad your story has a happy ending!

My sister had it about 6 years too. She's had 3 babies since then and is about to have her 4th. hwstevens.blogspot.com

So I am TOTALLY behind on reading blogs, but I too am happy about you being a survivor. I've told you this before but I'm a survivor too. My sister (Dancing Queen) mentioned that I had it about 6 years ago. She's a little off on her math. It was actually 12 years ago. It was before I got married. :) Anyway, shows how much I know, I had no idea it was Thyroid cancer awareness last month. Seems like so long ago since I came down with it.
