You can't control what happens to you in life, but you CAN control how you respond. I believe that the way you responded with such positivity really helped you get through it. Glad you are in the clear now and here to inspire everyone around you in real life and here on UA-cam!
Wow that is such a remarkable story! And that amazing that you were so brave when they told you the news girl I would have been bawling my eyes out. Thank you so much for sharing your story!
Hugs. You were so brave at such a young age! I wish no one had to go through any cancers at all, but you are so right attitude can make all the difference. Love your positive mindset! Going through something like that must have made you even stronger, I imagine come what may now you know you can handle it! So glad you are here to inspire the rest of us moms! Love and blessings to you and your sweet family. xo
Hi Kimberly, thank you so much for sharing your story. 14 years ago I was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis , Addison’s disease and type 1 diabetes. Your exactly right about your thyroid controlling everything in your body. If it’s out of wack for me I really feel it.
Antique Queen no because they didint find a mass it was just swollen that’s what they said but man I can imagine having one the whole thing it’s super scary
Being positive about things has huge role in your life! My grandma has had three different types cancer. And she has beat them all. She's turning 80 this month. She has always had a positive or maybe determined outlook. Whenever things look bleek and she might not recover from something she's like "I've got to much hell to give, I'm not quitting yet".
+Sabrina Kinnick my grandma will be turning 98 this summer and has had breast cancer twice and colon cancer and beat it every time and still standing 💖
I had papillary thyroid cancer. My doctor told me that I was more likely to die from an auto accident on my way to surgery or follow-up exams than the papillary thyroid cancer. Still, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
You are amazing!! Staying positive is the best medicine. It took me a bit to watch this because when you put this out my Mother was actually going through her thyroid issue. All her tests were inconclusive so they had to do surgery. With great happiness she didn't have any cancer, but the whole time I kept telling my mom stay positive it will all be okay. You are a survivor! You are blessed so much and thank you for sharing. Keep being the amazing person you are!
Thank you for sharing your story! I was diagnosed with breast cancer in July '17 . . . you are so right, mindset is EVERYTHING! I was very positive and the positive way you dealt with your cancer is sure to help many!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have a nodule on my thyroid and they want to remove my entire thyroid but I’m scared to death to have it done. Not the surgery but getting my body regulated afterwards, I’ve read horror stories. Your story was very informative and helpful. Have a wonderful day!
So glad you came through and beat cancer. You are correct about ones frame of mind My sister had breast cancer 6-7 years ago. She had the same mindset. Came through great and is cancer free.
It was difficult for me to watch so I only can imagine how difficult it must had been going through it at only 20 years old! You are so strong!!!! Cancer freaks me out so much! I lost my dad to it and just hearing that dreaded word scares me. I am so happy you are doing okay and that you are a wife and a mom!!!! Lots of love to you Kimberly!!!!
Wow!!! What a hard experience to have walked through! Thank you for being so open, I'm sure that your story will help someone who has gone through it or has a family member going through it. I'm sure it's hard to relive, but you are such a strong woman! Happy to call you friend and so thankful that you are healthy and living life to the fullest today!
I had right side of my thyroid removed 6 months ago. Because I still have half I don't need to take medication. After 3 biopsies, and 1 of the biopsies was a genetic test which if no cancer is considered the final say that there is no cancer...that was the left side nodule. The right side was iffy so they removed it and tested it and no cancer. I thank God every day. But I want to say that my ENT, whom I adore, says that thryoid cancer is very slow growing and surgery is the way to get rid of it. She says that if you're going to get cancer, which is horrible in and of itself, that thryroid cancer is the best one to get bc it can be removed.. And you are absolutely right about attitude. It's HUGE in recovery. Thank you for sharing ❤💚💜💙💛
You are so strong, mama! Thanks for sharing your story - you are an inspiration. What you think about, you bring about - I totally agree that mindset is everything!
Amazing how your frame of mind prepares you. That was a great gut instinct. HMO plans are stubborn. Thank God for your parents. Thank you for sharing your story. I knew nothing about thyroid til I hit 40 and I'm 45 now. I'm tearing up just hearing your story. You are a strong SURVIVOR....XOXO...
Your positive attitude is amazing, this was a difficult one to watch so I can’t imagine going through it and then sharing your story. So glad everything worked out and you achieved your goals of becoming a wife and mother. Love and blessings to you and your family ❤️❤️
I cannot thank you enough for sharing your story. I found you through Millennial Moms a few months ago , and I’ve been following your channel since then. Last month I found out that I have Hashimotos and I’ve been obsessed with getting my symptoms under control . Your story is so helpful for me. Thank you , thank you , thank you for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So crazy to hear all the details. I know you have told me about it in person...but not all those details. You are so amazing and strong. I am so impressed by you and grateful for our friendship. It’s amazing too see how blessed you are, and all that you do with it. Love ya!!!
Style Mom XO you're welcome sweetie😊. I take thyroid medicine also. 100 micrograms. Every 6 months I get tested for my levels. How often do you get tested?
I’m so glad your Mom was such a wonderful advocate for you! I have a close family friend who went through the same thing at a really young age. Thanks for sharing your story. So glad you’re doing well now❤️❤️
You're amazing, Kimberly! Thanks for sharing your story and your positive attitude, I truly believe you receive what you put out into the universe and sharing your story is such a kind, positive and unselfish act. 💕
God bless you for your faith and strength. I am glad it's been a clear path since then and I know it will continue to be. My husband is just now 10 years past radical bladder cancer......lots of ramification from it but he has survived retired and still able to do anything he wishes ............ it changes a person but for the positiveness you show the greater you can heal and go forward. Very important to have positive caregivers and family to assist when we are down that they are up for their loved ones. I take synthroid also but nothing is wrong but had scans and tests for many years and I'm ok it just is low and I have it monitored every 6 months and I have no issues, thank you GOD, as life is for the living and busy and lovers of life and the beat goes on..................very emotional vlog and I can feel it as well having been down only half of that road. You are blessed and continue to be. Take good care and enjoy your lovely new home and have fun remodeling it all! Love it love it!!
Thank you for this. I have hypothyroidism and it's been a struggle. It is such an important part of the body and it was hard to diagnose in me because I didn't have the usual weight gain etc. I have the opposite symptoms. I'm so glad that my medication is finally regulated and I'm feeling better. I feel less alone after hearing your story. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm sure it will be a big help and inspiration to many. I was diagnosed with Grave's 30 years ago and have been on Synthroid ever since. It just becomes part of your life. I also know when to have my levels checked just by how I feel because, yes, the thyroid controls so many things in your body from skin, hair, weight, body temp, emotions, and so much more. I wish I could have watched a video way back when 'cuz it would have been very helpful and comforting. You are amazing. Love your upbeat attitude about everything.
Omg I’m tearing up! You were so strong and so young! Your positive outlook blows me away and is sooooo inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story friend!! You are a true blessing!! ❤️🙏
I would just say one thing that God bless u and bless all of us.We should be very thankful to God that we are in a good health coz its everything.U r very brave my girl 😘
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I truly believe that having a positive mindset helps. I found out about my "nodules" last July. And at first I lost it, but keeping my eyes on the future and my family has been so helpful.
I'm currently going through a lot of problem solving with my health and today I had a heck of an emotional doctor's appointment. It's hard for me to stay positive and keep the faith on days like today. All sickness can be scary but for me it is primarily because my only daughter is 18 months old and my mind runs wild with "what if I'm not around for___?" Your video helped. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hi, I was diagnosed of PTC a week ago and have my surgery this week..I am flipping out and its tough to even bieng able to accept this in the first place..your video is very inspiring. Thank you for posting this..wish you good health
I don’t know how you do it you are strong and so positive. Yesterday we find out my cousin got diagnosed stage 4 ewing sarcoma cancer. She is only 22 yrs old. Our family just blacked out. Devastated. Thank you for sharing your story.
Great job with this informative video. You are amazing remembering details from 16 yrs ago wow. I have hashimotos and currently taking .100 mcg Synthroid. Overdue for blood work thanks to you I’ll get this ordered. Love your channel. Always positive and a supermama.
Holy cow!! I’m new to you channel. So I was surprised you had it. I’m currently going through the radiation to get scanned in a couple of day. Mine was completely removed last year and this is just the follow up. Seeing you so healthy gives me so much hope. Xoxoxo
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I'm going though a similar experience now and your positivity and information is encouraging. Glad you are doing well now!
Wow what a story thank you for sharing it with us as I’m sure it had to have been difficult for you in many ways ! Your such a positive person I just love that about you !! 🙏🏼😘
As i said previously , you are a very courageous woman, even if i did not go to the end of the video, i am sorry i can 't, but you are a very positive, nice, courageous person, love ♥
I had my surgery on October 2018 for thyroid cancer. Managing my medication has been nuts. I’m allergic to synthroid (hives everywhere) and heart palpitations that ended me in the ER. I am on unithroid now and I get blood work every 3 months for now. Feeling better since I gave up all caffeine And eat plant based. All scans are clear so far. Thanks for sharing your story.
🌺Thank God you're alright and living a beautiful life. I have hypothyroidism and it's been such a struggle. Your story and great detail just took the fear out of me and replaced it with important knowledge should this happen to me. This video was worth the wait. Thank you for sharing! 🌺
Style Mom XO I went for my thyroid tests last Wed, just a day after you posted this. I'm already on my medicine and taking my thyroid issue very seriously thanks to your humble, straight forward sharing of your experience. While the allure of your channel was great home management tips, be proud of the additional value your channel provides. Your generosity of spirit here really makes a difference in others' lives. 💐
Awesome on your strong will and keep going forward and also having a supportive loving family to be there for you. I am 49 years old and I have health issues that I deal with and I have a few family members that help me out and yes I keep going forward not always easy as you well know but we pick ourselves up and keep going. Love your personality your videos and you have a beautiful family. You will always be in my heart and prayers and I look forward to your videos in the future.
Thanks for sharing, my sister was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease ( a thyroid disease) several months ago and she's going through a really hard time.
I agree attitude is everything & you rose above cancer because of that! I absolutely HATE needles too & was more scared of the IV than actually giving birth to my daughter. I had a feeling going in that she was going to be a C-section baby & low & behold she was, but I just stayed calm the whole time & it makes it so much more relaxing on your body not being tense. I know cancer & childbirth hold no relevance to each other, but the relation is just having surgery & how scary it can be. And you're right they do use glue now for surgeries because I wasn't given stitches & was afraid to move for the same reasons you mentioned. After all is said & done, we are women - we are more strong than we think! My mother is a breast cancer survivor & has been clear for 15 years & she also stayed very positive & it helps tremendously when you have a loving support system! Thank you for sharing your story! God bless!
I found my lump in mid November, got my biopsy in December and didn’t get my results until January. Its February now and I still have not seen the endocrinologist and nobody seems to care in my area. Ive been waiting 2 weeks now to get an appointment and have been calling daily. Worst part of it all is i cant breath and my chest hurts. I have 4 children and it makes it hard to do the simplest tasks.
My mom has problems with her thyroid, I totally understand everything your taking about thank you so much for this video God is good Praise God for his glory💜God bless you!!
I'm going into work so I will have to finish later. I am one year and 4 months out from having surgery from Cervical cancer. Cancer is scary as hell. I will finish watching later.
I dont know your religious beliefs but your truly blessed. "Your gut" was truly God preparing you for a tragic time in your life but you remained humble && positive.
Thank you for your story. I️ know talking about having cancer isn’t easy. You said everything so amazing. I️ am 34 years old. I️ came out pregnant last year in March. In July they found a lump they thought was a Bartholin cyst. Went to have it drained and my life changed. I️ had to have an emergency surgery. They removed a tumor a size of a grapefruit. Had it tested and yes it came back as cancer. I had no reaction. I️ just say there thinking I’m pregnant how and why me? I️ had 2 children already and now with my third on the way. My life for the next months was nothing but appointments.. tests... surgeries. I had two surgeries while I was pregnant and had to have my baby girl 2 months premature. The cancer I️ had was leiomyosarcoma... very rare. Hearing your story I️ just want to hug you. I️ know when you said “you just want to be normal” I️ still to this day say the same thing. Battling cancer is no joke. I️ am glad Everything is good now with you. You are an inspiration . God bless you and your family! Hugs 🤗
I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer when I was 11 weeks pregnant. I had was 29, but I think I was about 23 when my thyroid started to go bad (we knew I had a lump when I was pregnant at 25). I had surgery at almost 20 weeks pregnant. My daughter was then stillborn 2 weeks later 😢 it's been a hard journey for me. I had 2 miscarriages that same year. It's been 8 years and I'm still having issues with my levels.
God had bigger plans for you and made you so strong. God Bless you for sharing your story. I have been on thyroid meds for years and it helps alot. God Bless you momma.
@stylemomxo you are so brave ! I know about thyroid issues my husband had thyroid issues he had Graves’ disease or hyperthyroidism about 4yrs. Ago he was really sick I was they only one taking care of him day and night , he had radiation in a pill form now he is better and on medication . So I can relate to your story .
I have a friend online that I met years ago now and she had had Thyroid cancer at around the age of 20. I feel badly for her as she has experienced all sorts of issues with unbalanced hormones including excessive weight gain and all of that and she simply isn't in a position to be able to afford to get the help her body needs. It breaks my heart when I see my American friends literally suffering because of the COST of illness where here (Canada) getting the tests and such would never even be an issue. I take Synthroid and I had tested perfectly for the general test and then one day I saw that there is a second test that isn't routine and I asked my Dr, he printed the paper and two days later he called me and said I had a prescription to pick up. My levels balanced out and so did a lot of my health issues. It's so scary to think that an insurance company plays with people's lives based on "odds". I am SO SO SO SO Happy you were able to get the on the ball help you needed and were able to get an insurance company to help when one wouldn't and that it sounds like you had really top notch care! I don't really have a question specific to when you had cancer but would love to know how that has changed you since you have been cancer free? Like, do you use extra sunscreen and try to eat extra healthy or be extra particular about chemicals and things based on the 'this may cause cancer" warnings on things or have you had a lifestyle change with cancer prevention in the back of your mind? I am sure you have to some degree, but the psychological side of any type of trauma always interests me as I have PTSD from abuse and I know that medical/health problems can cause a PTSD effect of their own!! Thanks for sharing your story! It has to be hard to talk about the details you have likely tried to forget! I am sure it will help someone, even if it is for a preventative checkup!!
+Marisa S thank you and that makes me sad to hear about your friend. May i ask what test you took that wasn’t routine. My dad had thyroid cancer as well and has never been able to take synthroid the way i do and still almost 12 years later, so many specialists and doctors can’t regulate him and can’t find how to get rid of all the side effects he gets. I on the other hand am just fine.
The TSH test which is the one that is routine here tests for the thyroid hormone. Mine always said my thyroid was functioning normally but I felt like ______ and was gaining SOOOO much weight. My friend actually asked me if I had ever had the T4 test done and I had not, as it is generally NOT routine. The T4 test checks how much of the thyroid hormones are leaving your pituitary gland and are available to your body. So, for me, my thyroid was putting out the right amount, but it wasn't going beyond the pituitary gland into my system, and the T4 test is what showed this and that's when I began Synthroid. I had to specifically ask for this test and my Dr is absolutely amazing and sort of did a facepalm because he hadn't thought of this test on his own. My Dr recently went back to school, so when I need to get refills done and my levels checked later this year, I will have to specifically request this test to the new Dr or my numbers may look wonky! *Google says "Free thyroxine (free T4) tests are used to help evaluate thyroid function and diagnose thyroid diseases, including hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, usually after discovering that the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level is abnormal."* But, in my case, the TSH always was well within the normal range. The Synthroid hasn't had an effect on my TSH but has had a positive effect on my T4!
Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you! I have been on thyroid meds for over 9 yrs. and I finally got the right dosage in 2014- 15. It's a tiny butterfly in the bottom of neck but it is so funny how that tiny little butterfly in your neck can affect you so much. For those who are tired all time and gaining weight when your diet having it change please go get blood work done . My friend kept telling me years to do but I just kept putting it off. I finally did a year later and found out I have underactive thyroid problem not enough hormones. So glad everything worked out for you God is good. P.S. sorry for my long comment lol. :)
Girl you are amazing ...I had this scare this past November i have 2 nodules and had them biopsied in February but they are benign i am on 112mg of Synthroid but the biopsy was rough ...and weight lose is a struggle ..it scares me though but i have to watch it close ..
I am glad you are ok ,my daughter was checking her thyroid since she was 6 and everything was OK but then they found small bump on her neck it was cancer (if she didn't check her thyroid we would find cancer when she would have symptoms ) in three weeks she did scan, biopsy,and chemotherapy she was 15 years old now she is 21 and everything is good ,,,it is hard to see your child go through something like that I know how your mom felt ,,,god bless you and stay healthy and happy,,,,,, sorry my English is bad
First I'm glad you doing well.What kind of thyroid cancer did you had? There's different types. How many lymph nodes,did they removed? I also had papillary variant thyroid cancer.
All my lymph nodes were good and none were removed. Thank goodness. Not sure on the type since I was 20 and my parents were still in charge of it all lol
Loved hearing your story angels are diffenetly watching over you. I understand the thyroid issues mine is underactive so I have to take sythroid medicine as well
Thank you for this! I’ve been diagnosed and go in to the surgeon in may. ❤️❤️. Did you lose/ gain weight with the meds? Also, are there side effects with the meds?
+Joyful Determination good luck and stay positive. No i stayed the same weight. I just get headaches when they adjust my medicine till i get used to it
You can't control what happens to you in life, but you CAN control how you respond. I believe that the way you responded with such positivity really helped you get through it. Glad you are in the clear now and here to inspire everyone around you in real life and here on UA-cam!
+Marissa Antoinett thank you so much

+Antique Queen it really is a big part of your body. I am sorry you have been diagnosed with all that.
I have hyperthyroidism but went through the ultrasound and all that which is soooo scary
prestigious23 Did you have to have that biopsy?
Antique Queen no because they didint find a mass it was just swollen that’s what they said but man I can imagine having one the whole thing it’s super scary
Being positive about things has huge role in your life! My grandma has had three different types cancer. And she has beat them all. She's turning 80 this month.

+Cathleen Weaver yes it’s the best type of cancer to have and i said that in my video because that was good news to hear when my doctor told me that.
In most cases, anaplastic thyroid cancer is nearly 100 percent fatal.
You are so strong, mama! Thanks for sharing your story - you are an inspiration. What you think about, you bring about - I totally agree that mindset is everything!
+Mandy in the Making thank you 😊

+Sanghamitra Mohanty yes health is everything. 💖
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I truly believe that having a positive mindset helps. I found out about my "nodules" last July. And at first I lost it, but keeping my eyes on the future and my family has been so helpful.
+Ivette Camere staying focused is big
I'm currently going through a lot of problem solving with my health and today I had a heck of an emotional doctor's appointment. It's hard for me to stay positive and keep the faith on days like today. All sickness can be scary but for me it is primarily because my only daughter is 18 months old and my mind runs wild with "what if I'm not around for___?" Your video helped. Thank you so much for sharing.
+In the Kitchen with Carmen my heart goes out to you and sending lots of love and prayers. Hang in there 😘❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi, I was diagnosed of PTC a week ago and have my surgery this week..I am flipping out and its tough to even bieng able to accept this in the first place..your video is very inspiring. Thank you for posting this..wish you good health
Thank you and sending you wishes for a good and smooth surgery and fast recovery.
I don’t know how you do it you are strong and so positive. Yesterday we find out my cousin got diagnosed stage 4 ewing sarcoma cancer. She is only 22 yrs old. Our family just blacked out. Devastated. Thank you for sharing your story.
+Christine Broker my thoughts and prayers go out to your cousin and family. Tell her stay positive and take it one day at a time! 💖💖💖

+julie moretti yes go get it done!!
Holy cow!! I’m new to you channel. So I was surprised you had it. I’m currently going through the radiation to get scanned in a couple of day. Mine was completely removed last year and this is just the follow up. Seeing you so healthy gives me so much hope. Xoxoxo
+Lisa G yes hang in there it will all be over and just easy follow ups before you know it.

+MonkeyBusiness nv cheers to cancer survivors 🥂
I had my surgery on October 2018 for thyroid cancer. Managing my medication has been nuts. I’m allergic to synthroid (hives everywhere) and heart palpitations that ended me in the ER. I am on unithroid now and I get blood work every 3 months for now. Feeling better since I gave up all caffeine And eat plant based. All scans are clear so far. Thanks for sharing your story.
So happy your scans are all coming back clear so far 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much for sharing your story. And being so open and honest.
🌺Thank God you're alright and living a beautiful life. I have hypothyroidism and it's been such a struggle. Your story and great detail just took the fear out of me and replaced it with important knowledge should this happen to me. This video was worth the wait. Thank you for sharing! 🌺
+Julie Kostas 😊💖 thank you so much and i really hope it helped put you at ease
Style Mom XO I went for my thyroid tests last Wed, just a day after you posted this. I'm already on my medicine and taking my thyroid issue very seriously thanks to your humble, straight forward sharing of your experience. While the allure of your channel was great home management tips, be proud of the additional value your channel provides. Your generosity of spirit here really makes a difference in others' lives. 💐
+Julie Kostas thank you so much. Your comment was very sweet. Good job on being proactive on your thyroid. 👍🏼💖
Awesome on your strong will and keep going forward and also having a supportive loving family to be there for you. I am 49 years old and I have health issues that I deal with and I have a few family members that help me out and yes I keep going forward not always easy as you well know but we pick ourselves up and keep going. Love your personality your videos and you have a beautiful family. You will always be in my heart and prayers and I look forward to your videos in the future.
+Carla Pic thank you so much and my thoughts and prayers to you as you fight with your health issues 💖
You are a champ! I too get anxiety with needles. 😊 Thank you for sharing your thyroid cancer story and being so positive. 🌸
Thanks for sharing, my sister was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease ( a thyroid disease) several months ago and she's going through a really hard time.
+Michelle Dennis send my love and stay positive to your sister
Thank you so much for sharing. This will help a lot of people. May God continue blessing you with good health.
+i c i hope it can help and thank you 😊
My mother in law is having surgery tomorrow morning. She has papillary thyroid cancer. Thank you for sharing this! Gives me an piece of mind. ❤️
I hope surgery goes good. Sending prayers
You are so strong.....thank you for sharing. It helps to have an awesome attitude!!!! :)
I agree attitude is everything & you rose above cancer because of that! I absolutely HATE needles too & was more scared of the IV than actually giving birth to my daughter. I had a feeling going in that she was going to be a C-section baby & low & behold she was, but I just stayed calm the whole time & it makes it so much more relaxing on your body not being tense. I know cancer & childbirth hold no relevance to each other, but the relation is just having surgery & how scary it can be. And you're right they do use glue now for surgeries because I wasn't given stitches & was afraid to move for the same reasons you mentioned. After all is said & done, we are women - we are more strong than we think! My mother is a breast cancer survivor & has been clear for 15 years & she also stayed very positive & it helps tremendously when you have a loving support system! Thank you for sharing your story! God bless!
+Diana D'Amico my mother is a breast cancer survivor too and was a trooper the entire way. 💖👍🏼
Style Mom XO 💝
Ur story got me so emotional thank you for sharing it. I hope ur story helps other people and reminds them to stay strong
+Lyn Muniz thank you 💖
I found my lump in mid November, got my biopsy in December and didn’t get my results until January. Its February now and I still have not seen the endocrinologist and nobody seems to care in my area. Ive been waiting 2 weeks now to get an appointment and have been calling daily. Worst part of it all is i cant breath and my chest hurts. I have 4 children and it makes it hard to do the simplest tasks.
My mom has problems with her thyroid, I totally understand everything your taking about thank you so much for this video God is good Praise God for his glory💜God bless you!!
+Hope Love sending lots of love and prayers to your mom. 💖
Thank you for sharing your story with us. You are such a inspiration to so many.
+Kim Carter 💖
I'm going into work so I will have to finish later. I am one year and 4 months out from having surgery from Cervical cancer. Cancer is scary as hell. I will finish watching later.
+Christy Creates it is scary but i hope you are okay now.
Sending all my love to you x you are so so brave x the cancer word scares me so much xxxxx 😚😚😚
Thanks so much for sharing. My thyroid is a mess and I haven't been treating it. This makes me want to call my dr and get back on track.

I dont know your religious beliefs but your truly blessed. "Your gut" was truly God preparing you for a tragic time in your life but you remained humble && positive.
+Liz Lovee thank you so much
Thank you for your story. I️ know talking about having cancer isn’t easy. You said everything so amazing. I️ am 34 years old. I️ came out pregnant last year in March. In July they found a lump they thought was a Bartholin cyst. Went to have it drained and my life changed. I️ had to have an emergency surgery. They removed a tumor a size of a grapefruit. Had it tested and yes it came back as cancer. I had no reaction. I️ just say there thinking I’m pregnant how and why me? I️ had 2 children already and now with my third on the way. My life for the next months was nothing but appointments.. tests... surgeries. I had two surgeries while I was pregnant and had to have my baby girl 2 months premature. The cancer I️ had was leiomyosarcoma... very rare. Hearing your story I️ just want to hug you. I️ know when you said “you just want to be normal” I️ still to this day say the same thing. Battling cancer is no joke. I️ am glad Everything is good now with you. You are an inspiration . God bless you and your family! Hugs 🤗
+Lauren Salinas thank you and i am so sorry you went through what you went through! I can not imagine going through that while being pregnant 😔

Thank you for sharing your story.. I am hypo and been taking synthroid for 6 years.
Thank you for sharing your story! You are very blessed!
+Christy Gray yes i am 😊💖
I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer when I was 11 weeks pregnant. I had was 29, but I think I was about 23 when my thyroid started to go bad (we knew I had a lump when I was pregnant at 25). I had surgery at almost 20 weeks pregnant. My daughter was then stillborn 2 weeks later 😢 it's been a hard journey for me. I had 2 miscarriages that same year. It's been 8 years and I'm still having issues with my levels.
+Megan Cowman oh no i am so sorry 😔
Megan Cowman this broke my heart to read, sending hugs 💗

+Rosalia Burgos 💖 thank you
I have a friend online that I met years ago now and she had had Thyroid cancer at around the age of 20. I feel badly for her as she has experienced all sorts of issues with unbalanced hormones including excessive weight gain and all of that and she simply isn't in a position to be able to afford to get the help her body needs. It breaks my heart when I see my American friends literally suffering because of the COST of illness where here (Canada) getting the tests and such would never even be an issue. I take Synthroid and I had tested perfectly for the general test and then one day I saw that there is a second test that isn't routine and I asked my Dr, he printed the paper and two days later he called me and said I had a prescription to pick up. My levels balanced out and so did a lot of my health issues. It's so scary to think that an insurance company plays with people's lives based on "odds". I am SO SO SO SO Happy you were able to get the on the ball help you needed and were able to get an insurance company to help when one wouldn't and that it sounds like you had really top notch care!
I don't really have a question specific to when you had cancer but would love to know how that has changed you since you have been cancer free? Like, do you use extra sunscreen and try to eat extra healthy or be extra particular about chemicals and things based on the 'this may cause cancer" warnings on things or have you had a lifestyle change with cancer prevention in the back of your mind? I am sure you have to some degree, but the psychological side of any type of trauma always interests me as I have PTSD from abuse and I know that medical/health problems can cause a PTSD effect of their own!!
Thanks for sharing your story! It has to be hard to talk about the details you have likely tried to forget! I am sure it will help someone, even if it is for a preventative checkup!!
+Marisa S thank you and that makes me sad to hear about your friend. May i ask what test you took that wasn’t routine. My dad had thyroid cancer as well and has never been able to take synthroid the way i do and still almost 12 years later, so many specialists and doctors can’t regulate him and can’t find how to get rid of all the side effects he gets. I on the other hand am just fine.
The TSH test which is the one that is routine here tests for the thyroid hormone. Mine always said my thyroid was functioning normally but I felt like ______ and was gaining SOOOO much weight. My friend actually asked me if I had ever had the T4 test done and I had not, as it is generally NOT routine. The T4 test checks how much of the thyroid hormones are leaving your pituitary gland and are available to your body. So, for me, my thyroid was putting out the right amount, but it wasn't going beyond the pituitary gland into my system, and the T4 test is what showed this and that's when I began Synthroid. I had to specifically ask for this test and my Dr is absolutely amazing and sort of did a facepalm because he hadn't thought of this test on his own. My Dr recently went back to school, so when I need to get refills done and my levels checked later this year, I will have to specifically request this test to the new Dr or my numbers may look wonky!
*Google says "Free thyroxine (free T4) tests are used to help evaluate thyroid function and diagnose thyroid diseases, including hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, usually after discovering that the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level is abnormal."*
But, in my case, the TSH always was well within the normal range. The Synthroid hasn't had an effect on my TSH but has had a positive effect on my T4!
+Marisa S okay thank you SO much for this. Calling my dad right now
+Marisa S but just to clarify you have your thyroid right
Style Mom XO i do have my thyroid yes!
Thanks for sharing your story!
thank you for sharing your story with all of us ..... your are the best mum .... you are awesome you have such a positive through
god bless you😇😇😇
+Martocean Felicia thank you
Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you! I have been on thyroid meds for over 9 yrs. and I finally got the right dosage in 2014- 15. It's a tiny butterfly in the bottom of neck but it is so funny how that tiny little butterfly in your neck can affect you so much. For those who are tired all time and gaining weight when your diet having it change please go get blood work done . My friend kept telling me years to do but I just kept putting it off. I finally did a year later and found out I have underactive thyroid problem not enough hormones. So glad everything worked out for you God is good. P.S. sorry for my long comment lol. :)
+papaace4 no apologies for the long comment i am just happy they finally were able to regulate you!!!
You are very lucky not to be in the UK, unfortunately it is not a good experience here. God speed to you x
Thanks for sharing your story with us 🌼
Girl you are amazing ...I had this scare this past November i have 2 nodules and had them biopsied in February but they are benign i am on 112mg of Synthroid but the biopsy was rough ...and weight lose is a struggle ..it scares me though but i have to watch it close ..

+Sara Hawkins just trying to remember it all 👍🏼

+Susie Serrano thank you
I am glad you are ok ,my daughter was checking her thyroid since she was 6 and everything was OK but then they found small bump on her neck it was cancer (if she didn't check her thyroid we would find cancer when she would have symptoms ) in three weeks she did scan, biopsy,and chemotherapy she was 15 years old now she is 21 and everything is good ,,,it is hard to see your child go through something like that I know how your mom felt ,,,god bless you and stay healthy and happy,,,,,, sorry my English is bad
+nata Re no your English is just fine! 😊 it’s a whirlwind for sure but i am glad your daughter is better now 💖
Awesome, thank you for telling your story!
First I'm glad you doing well.What kind of thyroid cancer did you had? There's different types. How many lymph nodes,did they removed? I also had papillary variant thyroid cancer.
All my lymph nodes were good and none were removed. Thank goodness. Not sure on the type since I was 20 and my parents were still in charge of it all lol
Ur so brave I have lukimaia now and I’ve been fighting it for 2 years god bless
