Bless the surgeon who noticed & sent you for bloodwork. Take it easy- wishing you a full & speedy recovery. 👍👍
I had my thyroid removed and it has been a hard recovery. It takes time to get regulated for sure. Please remember this: If you don't feel right, it is NOT just in your head. Don't let anyone dismiss your thoughts, depression, low energy, ect. You will need medical care until you feel better.
Blessings to the doctor who saved you from thyroid cancer!
You were so lucky with that surgeon just take your time to get better maybe you need a full break from recording for 12 months till you are all well you have all been through the wringer ,we will wait till you come back don’t stress about videoing just build the family strength up
Best wishes for a speedy recovery
Gutted to hear your news Harriet 😢, but I feel so grateful that you were checked for this AND that the surgeon had the knowledge to recognise the signs. Wishing you a speedy recovery, a well healed scar and that the right doseage of meds is formulated quickly. Big hugs and lots of ❤
How grateful we all are to that surgeon! Rest, relax, take every day slowly, just take care of you.
Glad you are doing well. I have the same condition. I've been on thyroid meds for 30 years. It gets so much better. Rest and relax.
Harriet, you are so right that this story could have been much more tragic, and there's gratitude to be offered for this less dire outcome. You are justified in feeling "annoyed" that life has to be interrupted for such things, but do make room for them, because they actually ARE life. I know you as one of the bravest, strongest, most practical people on the planet.
❤❤❤
Bless you Harriet for having the strength to do this Video & speak about everything you've been through, you are an inspiration. Love & hugs to you all. ♥️♥️♥️
Amazing that the doctor picked up on the clues that lead to your testing…..you were in the right place at the right time meeting that surgeon. Get well Harriet ! My sister in law had this surgery, and once the thyroid replacement was in synch, she had a full recovery. Take it easy, take care. You have had so many health challenges as a family….healing wishes to you all ❤❤❤
So in a way, having Santi saved your life ❤
It does get better. I’m 12 years post op, and the scar becomes less noticeable and everything else comes right. Thankful for the surgeon who put everything together ❤
Have a speedy recovery and take care of yourself. We will be waiting as long as it takes, everybody who watches your channel is captivated by your lovely personality.
I am a retired medical technologist who worked in the laboratory of a hospital. The reason they check your blood every single time is because it is possible that you have formed antibodies in your blood and you want to make sure that the blood you might receive is 100% compatible. You never want to take any chances with blood transfusions. And if you have received blood while you're in the hospital, it is very possible that they will draw your blood again and check everything again to make sure that you have not formed new antibodies. If you receive blood that is not compatible, it can result in death. A lot of testing goes into insuring your safety. So happy you are doing well.
That’s so interesting, I had no idea! Thank you!
I am 60 years old. My thyroid was remove when i was 35 old. You need to rest thats very very important. Just take care. Pray for a speedy recovery
Good to see you again folks, you been through the mill alright. I hope a speedy return of full energy to you Harriet.
Sorry to hear of your troubles, I hope all goes well moving forward 😊
The one doctor initiating the test of MEN2A was there just at the right time with the right idea. So glad this worked out this way 😱
Sending some extra love your way, Harriet! Holding you in light and care for full perfect healing! Your scar is smile-shaped - because life loves you so very very much! A friend gave me Poppy Austin 100% organic sea buckthorn oil for mine, and it's healed flawlessly. Meanwhile, scarves happen to highlight your already goddess beauty, so hoping you'll indulge in a few more to uplift any weight in this this moment and shine shine shine your light. 🙏♥ Lee
Harriet, contentos de saber que has salido con éxito de la operación, te deseamos una completa y rapida recuperación, cuidate mucho y tomate tu tiempo, estaremos esperándote, un abrazo!
Sending you gentle hugs,thyroid warriors unite ❤
I'm so glad that you are out of hospital and wish you a speedy recovery. This is very scary what you have described. I'm so glad this is over and you can now recover and get your strength back. This surgeon is an angel to be dedicated to her work and make such a discovery. Wish you all the best and health for your family and looking forward next video of your finished and new projects. Kisses for Santi.
Dear Harriet thank you for taking the time to let us know about your condition though it was not mandatory. Please take good care of you, rest, relax, we will wait, no problems. Hugs to Santi.
Os echábamos de menos, mucho ánimo para los tres, os lo merecéis. Sois unos luchadores y no dudo que lo váis a superar. Como madrileño os doy las gracias por dar un soplo de vida a la España vaciada, y ¡ole por ese cirujano que supo detectartelo a tiempo!.
Well, Bless that surgeon!! ❤Wishing you all the best for a full recovery and that you find the right balance of meds soon. Please take it easy and I hope Mauro pampers you a bit (and that you accept it! 😊)
it's possible that this surgeon has saved your life. she insisted, she asked again, she went the extra mile. that's really admirable, because doctors aren't really enticed to do that within the overloaded system. I am chronically ill with POTS/MCAS, and I felt your tiredness viscerally. I hope you are recovering your 10%.
It is wonderful that your condition was diagnosed before more serious health issues developed!! So glad for you and your family.
So glad to see you guys back!! Lets hope 2024 treats you and yours well from now on
Thank goodness for observant doctors and nurses! So glad your procedure was a success!
What a scary situation. Thank goodness it was found and you are on the road to recovery. Sending lots of healing thoughts your way. 😊
you really don't need to say sorry. cancer is an individual process, and you need to take care of yourself. I've been through cancer myself, friends and family want to help, but only you can ask for the help you need (not always what they want to give). taking rest is the most important part of it. take care 🤗
Glad they caught this on time. Wish you a great recovery and good things to the entire family.
❤❤❤❤❤ Take your time to recover physically and phychologically!
Prayers for healing and bless the surgeon who put the symptoms together.
Cuídate mucho, Harriet. Un abrazo para toda la familia.
Dear Harriet, please continue recovering. We will be around waiting to hear from you
You are an inspiration. The grace you exhibit with all the traumas is exceptional. I have to believe that you, and the family, have a bright future, as life balances out.
Thank God for that surgeon. Im so sorry you are going through all this. Prayers for you. Your lifestyle with fresh air, fresh food and sunshine will help you heal. Take care.
It must be incredibly frustrating for a fireball like you, but please slow down, heal that body, we are all happy to watch you just smelling the roses as you heal. God bless you all!
So glad this condition was found now. Hopefully you are going to be feeling completely well and healthy very soon now.
Thank you for sharing. Your smile at the end was priceless! Wishing you and your family the best. Take care of yourself . . . no heavy lifting💕
I've been through all of that. Low energy is normal. I found that doctors will start you out on low doses of thyroid replacement hormone. I had to keep pushing and advocating for myself until they stepped up the level. I had mine out at age 49. I'm 71 now. You will make it. Best wishes to you all.
Yes. The doctors will test TSH and will try to keep you on the lower end of range. I had to do the same and push for higher dose. I have tried T4 only, natural dessicated, and combo T4/T3 that is compounded (made just for me). I feel best on the compounded.
Keeping alive is worth enduring all this discomfort and exhaustion which will diminish in time. And by the way, you look gorgeous with a pretty scarf on and even that, will not always be necessary.
You have so much life ahead of you !
Thank you for sharing. I know its hard sharing personal information to people you don't know but we all feel like you're part of an extended family.
Oh Harriet hunny I’m so sorry about all your health issues.
I’m also in the thyroxin for life club. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you. You deserve all the best things x
Dear Harriet, please take great care of yourself. Rest all the time you can. Best wishes.
Good that you are in Spain rather than the UK. Sorry that you have had so many health problems. Yep,grateful is the way forward. Nurture yourself.
Glad this was found so early, that surgeon has saved your family from premature grief ❤❤❤❤ take care and hope to see you soon
Girl, I am so glad that surgeon was on it and you just went with it. I'm so thankful you are healthy. God bless you and the family. ❤
you 3 are due for a long time of only good news! rest, and heal well.
Que alegria que todo ha salido bien Harried.

God bless you my girl, you've been through so much with the pregnancy and little Santi. So glad they found out early and they are on it straight away. Take care of yourself, take things slowly xxxxx
Sorry to hear the news but grateful you had a surgeon who recognized and tested for the possibility for this disease. It will take time for the body to heal and balance itself. 🙏 for continued healing.

Dear Harriet, thank you for the update. I always look for a new video from you, but I just thought you were busy. So sorry, but also so glad that the surgeon was suspect to this condition. You guys have been through so much. I feel for you. I'm glad you are remaining grateful for all you have Godspeed in your recovery.
I wish you all the best… and only smiles and happiness for your rest of your life…
I missed you, Mauro, and Santi! Glad you are ok!
Wishing you all the very best for a quick and full recovery! Take care!
I wish you a healthy recovery and I wanted to say I'm so proud of your positive outlook on all of this. I'm glad you have a loving family to help you physically and with encouragement.
All the best with your recovery, take care of yourself. Love and blessings to you all❤❤❤
Rest, rest, rest and take care of yourself. Sending energy vibes ❤.
I'm glad you're doing okay, Harriet, and I hope the rest of your recovery goes quickly and smoothly, and that the medication levels are figured out soon. You are so strong, and you have such an incredible perspective on your diagnosis. Take it easy, and best wishes to you and your family.
Harriet, your little family has been through the ringer. You are so strong. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and take care. Rest. xx
Hi guys!
First off, best wishes to you for a full recovery.
I worked in a blood lab for a decade in the US, so I can only speak on how American hospitals handle testing. However, certain things are considered pretty standard, some of those include several reasons to retest blood type.
1. You've been pregnant. Depending on Santi's blood type, some of your antibodies may have changed in response.
2. There's always the possibility that you have received blood/blood products and/or a bone marrow transplant elsewhere that your records don't reflect (which your antibodies may have reacted to in some way), and frankly, a repeat test is more reliable and safer for everyone than relying on a patient/family report. A bone marrow transplant, for instance, has the capability to completely change a person's blood type.
Given that getting a transfusion wrong is very dangerous and often fatal for the patient, most hospitals in the US require that any procedure that may require a blood transfusion has to have had a very recent type and screen test. This timing can vary anywhere from within a week before to 24-48 hours before. A little lead time is preferred in case the facility needs to order a specific blood time.
I hope this helps.
Oh wow that’s fascinating, thank you!!
Bless you Harriet! May you recover well and never have to look back on this difficult period. ❤
Wishing you a good recovery. Be kind and patient with yourself. Thank you for the update.
Harriet you have handled this well your one of the strongest women I know I so admire your courage and bravery I will continue praying for you 🤲💗
Querida Harriet. Te deseo lo mejor, y te envío un abrazo grande para ti y tú familia.
Besos
In a way Santi saved your life and this amazing! Your attitude to it all is so impressive and I’m just glad you are ok. Take care, wish you all the best:)
Wow, you guys have really been through it. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery, big hugs to all 3 of you x
Best wishes for a speedy recovery, please take care of yourself ❤️❤️
Sending you love and prayers. Thank goodness for the surgeon! ❤ from 🇨🇦
Good job to that surgeon. And good luck to you with the recovery❤
Eres una mujer muy valiente y luchadora, ánimo todo va a salir bien, saludos 💪😍
Oh my gosh! What a year you have all had. Sending blessings to you all ❤
Been thinking about you Harriet praying 🤲 for you and wishing you well wishes to you and your Family 💗🤲💗
Oh wow, after all you have gone through as a family, you deserved this gift from Providence. What an incredible miracle this doctor noticed these anomalies and put two and two together. I am so relieved for you that this was caught in time. Take it slow, don't worry about us, we will be waiting for your posts when you can put them up.
I wish for you a full ad speedy recovery and thinking what a blessing tat surgeon was !
We love you sweet strong Harriet. Like you I am grateful the surgeon was so amazing paying attention to every detail about your medical history!! Wishing you a fast recovery 🙌🏻🦋🙏🏻 Much love from Kentucky 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank goodness it was found early Harriet. Gratitude for the medical team that pursued your diagnosis and those who removed your thyroid. The unusual growth was found at the best time. You take your time recovering. I do appreciate the candid update but back to feeling well must be your top priority. I'll be here when you are feeling up to the task. All the best!
Please accept my best wishes for your healing journey. I’m glad you’re doing as well as you are and I pray for your continued recovery.
Eres muy valiente!!!
Harriet you have been through a lot this past year. Thank the dear Lord you received early diagnosis and treatment. You will be fine and healthy. Glad to see you back. Blessings to All of you.🙏🏼
Thank goodness for that surgeon & that you listened & got tested. You & Mauro have been through so much. Sometimes, people can get depressed after all the being done with the most traumatic parts. Please keep an eye on each other just in case. Also, a lot of people watch your videos. It can spur others to take their bodies seriously or urge those around them to listen to their bodies & symptoms. Your sharing can help many others. Thank you for posting. Wishing the best for all of you.
Omg glad you are getting it sorted and hope it sorts you out fully and you make a full recovery.Get well soon 😊😊😊
Thank goodness you had a good doctor. The endocrine system is fascinating. I take thyroid medication. There are times I feel tired, I don’t think that will ever go away. I enjoy watching you on your homestead. Santi and the animals all must miss you and I miss you. Love your life style. Rest up, be well, lovely, beautiful lady!
Bless you sweetie, glad the surgery was successful, sending love to you & the family xxx ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank goodness it was caught! Sending positive healing energy X
Preying for happiness strength and wellness for your family that has endured so much this past year.
I lost my husband due to cancer. We did not realize he had it. Both of us were working in the medical field, he was a pharmacist and I am a retired nurse. Cancer creeps up to you. I am sooooo thankful that your surgeon is so good. Like you said, it could be such a different story. I pray that you will heal quickly and that your condition keeps on improving. Lots of love from South Africa.
Glad you had a great doctor looking after you. Take care of yourself.
Great that it was found early and it was taken care of. Take it easy and rest for a speedy recovery.
Happy to see you guys, kisses for Santi ❤❤❤
Big hugs, you guys have been through so much. I have an underactive thyroid so completely understand the exhaustion. Once you get your levels right it will help, but I have also found a selection of vitamins and minerals that help too. I'm sure you'll research and do your own thing. Sounds like you've found great medical people there x
Muchas bendiciones para ti y tu bella familia. Cuídate, descansa y estaremos aqui esperando. Los mejores deseos para vos y gracias por compartir con nosotros. Cariños ♥♥💪💪
