I had mine today 8/20/24 , the physician was great no problems with a total 10 needles 5 in two spots, not a big deal for me personally I'm sorry others have had issues. But don't put off your health 🙏🙏
I'm so glad to hear that! My first biopsy was fine, it was my second one that was awful. I now know to plan to take the rest of the day off after a biopsy, if needed.
the technician did a terrible job, poking in the wrong spots and having to way more jabs than needed. I ended up in severe pain afterwards with bruising on my neck -- barely able to move my neck.
I'm always fatigued. I was diagnosed with systemic sarcoidosis. As a result I have heart issues, lung, liver,spleen, and colon issues as well. I'm hoping to try going vegan in hopes of trying to save my life. I went from 160 to 122 in a year. Not that I was trying, I can't eat normal portions. Thank you for responding and listening g to me. Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated. I hope you are feeling better.
I had a left lobe lobectomy. Had some huge nodules. I can breathe easier and swallow much better. Pathologist said no cancer. Surgery was not bad, hardly any pain at all.
Hello! Thank you for this video! I have also some cancer cell in a my thyroid nodules . Do you had done the thyroid surgery? I’m Going to see the ENT surgeon next week .
My guess is that finding is named follicular neoplasm. Out of the statistics, for every 100 tumors removed, 17 are cancerous 80 are adenomas (benign) and 3 are colloid nodules incorrectly diagnosed as neoplasms. So, get the second opinion from the different cytologist, keeping in mind that: no abnormal lymph nodes favor benign results; in some cases when large blood vessel is hit, the blood displaces the watery colloid and the result is erroneously classified as neoplasm due to the scant colloid. Most experts suggest getting a second opinion. If the tumor is indeed benign, it can be treated with PEI injector or radio frequency (microwave) ablation. Best!!
+Banana Wisdom According to the studies certain suspicious tumors are no longer considered cancerous! There is an article: www.nytimes.com/2016/04/15/health/thyroid-tumor-cancer-reclassification.html?_r=0
I just had one done this afternoon and I totally understand what you’re going through. For me this was one of the worse experiences ever and maybe you’re right and I should try to address it as if it is something serious and do my part by changing my diet and avoid having to go through this again. I hope you’re doing well and thank you for the video!
I had graves disease with nodules a few years ago that went away when i cleaned up my diet!!! The doctor got really annoyed every time I ask her about my diet..Said "DIET HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT !!" Hmmmm,I guess she was wrong!!.3 years later all my test are normal..
+banana wisdom I'm so sorry you don't have more concrete answers! I honestly think you are on the right path to healing! I would do as you say and treat it as cancer. It is definitely not going to hurt you. It will probably be a bit hard but it will be worth the sacrifice. Sending good vibes your way friend! Much love! ❤️
Eating the most healthy diet possible couldn't hurt (and juicing too for optimal nourishment) but if you really feel like eating cooked food some days I'd do that (mental health is also important and you don't want to go crazy wanting cooked food) It would also make sense to have it removed so you're not worried about it anymore Do whatever feels right to you, thanks for sharing with us :)
Hey Jeannine... I'm sorry your results weren't better. I'm happy to hear that the chance of it being cancer is relatively low. Wishing you all the very best in the next 6 months to try to shrink and/or reverse the growth!! You will be in my thoughts and prayers for a better biopsy next time! If you can do it, then I say go fully raw. Good thing is that we are coming into the perfect season(s) for a trial run. Another option might be to do coffee enemas... I understand that Gerson Therapy uses them, so maybe it wouldn't hurt? All the very best!!!
I am so sorry to hear your news. I think you are incredibly brave to make a video about it too. I would echo what someone else said and read how not to die. Sending you huge love from the UK x
I had a thyroid biopsy also n the doctor told me I had atypical cells n can monitor with ultrasound or have another biopsy. I have been thinking about this. I'm going to monitor with ultrasounds for now. And will try to eat healthier and exercise. 😀 hoping all is well more many years. I have had thyroid n taking levothyroxane for about 30 yrs now.
I had a "hot" nodule in my thyroid 12 yrs. ago. Size of a walnut. It was treated with radioactive iodine (1 little pill) which killed my thyroid function completely. I take synthroid every day now and will till the day I die. I wasn't given any other options. I think we all agree that going fully raw is the ideal (I've never been able to commit) and we'll cheer you on whatever you decide.
+virgon vegan oh I feel for you, I really hate the idea of 100% depending on medication for all my thyroid hormones. Did you feel any different after it was removed? The radioactive iodine thing sounds scary
My FNA a year ago or so.. found three nodules, two were benign and one inconclusive. I've been on Synthroid since then. I keep thinking about this 'inconclusive' result. So don't remove the nodules I keep hearing but ?? I don't know. Just worried. Thanks for sharing.
I never slept during my biopsy, is that what you mean? I was awake the entire time and did not have blood anywhere - not in my throat, not in my mouth and not on my skin.
No I was just asking that before the days of biopsy, did u see any blood traces in ur sputum after u wake up and brushing teeth. My question is regarding symptoms apparent before getting appointment for biopsy.
Oh I see, no nothing like that but I had severe hypothryoidism and it's standard practice to get a thyroid ultrasound to look for nodules. I have a couple of larger nodules that my doctor wanted a closer look at to rule out cancer.
I am so glad that you shared your story. I had a bio. (Cannot spell it right now) for a thyroid nodule today. Oh my God it was awful! I had some abnormal cells removed from my cervix that had become precancerous, oral surgery, and a core bio. That you are knocked our for ( turned out to be calisfications- spelling again and not cancerous, and an ALC tear, NONE of this compares to the hell that I went through today. Yes, I had the stinging when the lidocaine was put in- hurt a little, the bio. Was not bad just pressure and pulling. When the needle was taken out, I got all shaky and starting sweating. It got worse. I remember saying , " UH, OH ". I woke up and the sonogram Dr. And the bio. Dr. Had my legs up in the air. One percent of the patients faint. I went into a recovery room and an hour later my blood pressure is still at 86. Then, it goes to 96. 2 hours later, I call the hubby to come get me. I slept for four hours straight! Plus, during all of this fun- our air conditioner crapped out- we have been in our house for 30 years. In Austin, Texas it is in the 90's now and low 70's at night. So, I had to drive my self to the doctor while everything in our HVAC was being ripped out. Anyway, my throats still hurts. I find out my results Tuesday. If anything is funny- I am having my Thyroid taken out! Man, that bio. was rough. I have never experienced anything like this! I am going to watch your other videos. I hope that your outcome is good, as I am halfway through your video. I totally feel for what you went through. Even when, I fractured my collar bone- I did not have all of this drama.
So glad to hear it's not just me that had a traumatic biopsy experience, uggg.. it was horrible. I hope yours turns out to be good news. Getting surgery is not something I'm willing to do - it's my absolute last resort.
I am in the same boat. I have to get another biopsy. First biopsy came back as Suspicious for Folicular Neoplasm. When you get your biopsy again ask for genetic sequencing. Ask for these two types of genetic sequencing, Afirma Veracyte and ThyroSeq 3. If it does come back benign you can also look into Radiofrequency ablation at johns jopkins, mayo clinic, columbia univ. Give us an update of what happened. Thank you and God Bless
I just want to sincerely thank you for sharing this, I had no idea about genetic sequencing. I will ask about that next time. My doctor at the time (I've moved 3000 miles away since then) suggested I get my nodule removed but I refused... then moved not long after so it took a while for me to find another Endo. The new doctor had me get another biopsy, but the results were inconclusive (not enough tissue sample). They want me to go back YET again but I'm so done with this.
Man I'm so sorry to hear that you didn't get the news you were hoping for. After your last video I was worried since you didn't mention good or bad news but you mentioned they called and wanted to speak with you. I completely agree with your logic. I would do the exact same and treat it as if I had cancer and go fully raw. I've read a lot of stories about wheat grass juice everyday as well really helps. I was in your same boat just a month ago. I have a nodule in my lung that was found back in 2009. I hadn't had it x-rayed since 2011 so I decided to get one when I was getting routine blood work back in February. results came back that is was 12 mm and my heart sunk because I believed that the previous size was only 2.6mm. I was at a different provider so they couldn't compare the results. In the days waiting for them to get the old X-rays I was thinking my life was about to be turned upside down, I have to go fully raw, do I move south to warm weather, you know all those things that ar
I am not able to rewatch this video right now and forget everything I talked about but I do remember the situation: I ended up just leaving it alone. Recently I had another biopsy done but they weren't able to get enough tissue. I'm at the point where I really am not worried about it. If it's cancer, it's not doing much... just sitting there with very minimal growth.
I'd probably do as much raw unprocessed as I could. Do you take iodine? My doc told me my TSH has more than doubled in the last year and is doing a blood thryoid panel at the end of this month. In the meantime, she told me to start taking a minimal dose of iodine daily. Such conflicting info one the iodine supplementation!
+PB&LFV4HEALTH oh wow, doubled the TSH? How are you feeling? I'm so conflicted about the iodine. It seems that it can fuel the autoimmune fire when it comes to Hashimoto's. I do need to do more reading up on it and talk to my ND.
Weight gain and feeling more pain in joints, tired and stuff. Based on what I've read I was worried that the iodine might make it worse too. I hope you are feeling better from your biopsy. I really appreciate the info you've shared on your thyroid troubles.
Don't eat oil. Don't use it or eat foods that have oil listed in their ingredients. Check out Dr. John A. McDougall. You've probably already heard of him. He wrote The Starch Solution.
+Lena Cisowski oh yes I have been a fan of Dr. M for over 4 years now :) I stopped using oil approx 3 years ago, that shit is nasty.. and well, my gallbladder won't allow it anyway haha! Thanks for the tips :)
I'm sorry you're going through this Jeannine. That's a tough decision to make. I would probably do what you're thinking, and treat your body as if you're trying to heal it. Do a lot of research. I would have trouble sticking to fully raw, but if that turned out to be my best bet, I would probably try. Good luck!!
Unbelievably stressful place to be. So sorry for your suffering. First, please do not assume that cancer is inevitable. Everyone has abnormal cell activity in the body. We are all constantly killing off these potential cancers. Sometimes the body becomes overwhelmed & the cancer is able to manifest - but know that this is less often the case as the body has been dealing with potential cancer your whole life. The odds are extremely good that it won't manifest into cancer. Hear what the doctor said - 15% chance of cancer means 85% chance it won't happen! Next, keep in mind that the same natural treatments to kill cancer are the same as prevents cancer. I recommend you watch the youtube film "Cancer: The Forbidden Cures." Then go to ChrisBeatCancer.com and watch all the testimonials, eat his recipes & read his whole site. This will help you make the big decisions much easier. Knowledge is power. So is human emotion, so take heart in the fact that your friends & fans are out here holding you in a vision of excellent health. Feel those good vibes. And drop the stress like a hot rock. Check those resources to find out how to change your emotional state in a snap. All the best to you.
I'm so sorry this was the result. Thank you for sharing this with us, I can't imagine it was easy. I'll be sending even more good thoughts, especially healing ones your way 💜 I think I would go into healing mode & eat more raw, may juicing too. I personally would still incorporate potatoes, especially sweet potatoes. It wasn't too hard for me to do a raw till 4 style plan when I first went vegan. I was loosing weight & feeling super energized. I know you'll do what's best for you & I fully support whatever you decide to do. Much Love 😘
I am so sorry you didn't get good news. Very hard decisions. I would do the fully raw route I think. Gerson style. I have a heard that we all have cancer all the time and that our bodies are healing it all the time too. You are on the right path I think. I also think that our position directly west of Fukushima puts us at a disadvantage from the fallout.
Wishing you the best Jeanine! Thank you for sharing something so personal. My boyfriend and I have actually talked about if either of us happened to develop cancer, that we would go fully raw as an option. I believe my diet now is super healthy, but think that going raw may be beneficial to a healing process. I think the best thing for you to do is to just do as much research as you can. There is a lot of pseudo science out there, so be careful.
+Candle Duck ha! I'm laughing because I have the book at home and I haven't read it yet lol! Resources right under my nose. I will crack it open tonight. Thank you
I wish you the best of luck with healing. Personally I would get lots and lots of sleep, I believe our bodies heal best when sleeping. I would def eat mostly raw but probably eat a lot less. But I think the most important part would be mental attitude. I wouldn't even think about cancer. Our thoughts are very powerful. I would focus on feeling good, all positive thoughts. Repeat some health affirmations. That's what I would do :)
I would absolutely start treating yourself holistically! I truly believe that real food (vegan, raw, juicing) CAN make a difference in our body composition!!!
Hmm that's a tough decision to make. Plus I had trouble sticking to fully raw 100% but then again I've heard of people feeling awesome after they have had. here thyroid (the whole thyroid) removed I think I would consider that and get it over with to help feel better
+Laineyslife I have such a hard time with raw too, I love Raw Till 4... by far my fav way to eat. If I tell myself I'm going to do a fully raw day all I can think about is cooked food loL! Thank-you for the thyroid input
Sorry to hear you didn't get the results you wanted. I would try and think really positive....that yes the cells have turned abnormal and could become cancerous but do everything possible to stop it from happening. I'd get those veggies in by juicing every morning. After reading "how not to die" I use a bit of my green juice and blend in half a teaspoon of turmeric and a slice of avocado (the fat makes the turmeric work much better). Turmeric has anti cancer benefits and my little turmeric smoothie tastes delicious too. Definitely get your copy out and read it. Some good simple tips in there.
I just had my ultrasound today for a thyroid nodule. My doctor called me this evening and said one of them needs to be biopsied. Still waiting to get my lab results back on how my thyroid is functioning.
My mom had her thyroid removed and she has no medical issues except for low blood pressure. The dr. Did an EEG and said that my heart was turned a little bit- thus was so dandy to find out on a day like this.
Yes please consider healing with food!! My thyroid was removed (first one half, then the other, because I was diagnosed with cancer). I wish I knew then what I know now!! I would definitely try the 'food is thy medicine route'! I take a pill daily now and sometimes still feel sad about not being able to get off those meds, because with no thyroid that's just not an option. In the end it's your decision. But if you want to chat more on this, let me know. Best, Rieta
I am sorry to take so long to respond. I don't know what is best for you. I would like to suggest your going to pcrm.com they have alot of current research and free downloads you might find useful. Hugs to you and yours.
I would also do 6 months Raw or mostly Raw and work towards trying to heal the body to the best you can do. before the test. Being proactive is always the best thing to be in life. Sorry to hear how the results were.
I would it, do biopsy in 3 or 6 month (you know that i know what i'm talking about :D) but i would do it, the problem with biopsy is because the first one we don't know what is going to happen, we are stressed out but it's easier!! the second one we remember the pain, that's the problem! you have to try meditate Your eating is already good, i'm not sure raw only, is really good, at least you have to love what you're eating, feel good about it, myself i need rice, potatoes,oats, nuts etc love cooked food too !!! :D And meditation everyday, and yogaaa!!! then when the biopsy comes it will be easier to fight the stress and the pain one step at a time !! take care
Adding another as my first was too long :) ...Are thinking right now. Turns out it was 14mm and mine has shrunk. Thanks be to whatever it is that has allowed it to shrink. I just wanted to share with you in hopes that you will have positive changes with yours. I will be thinking of you every step of the way. Good luck❤️
+KerstenWe are thinking of moving to the US at some point, my husband is American... my main motivation for that is cheaper cost of living and the option to choose to live somewhere with more sun and FRUIT! This thyroid thing is motivating to move sooner than later. We shale see! Thank you so much for sharing your story!
I would treat it as cancer. Why not? Check out Gearson Therapy. There is a book that explains their protocol - and lots of info online. All I really know is lots of juices and coffee enemas. And raw foods.
Yes, I. Think that monitoring the thyroid is good. I waited with my cervix for 15 years until the cells from the paps and the bio went from abnormal to precancerous. Then, I had the surgery. None of this take half if it out. When it is time, it is time. Then, I would get the whole thyroid taken out. I wish that you were in Austin, Texas. I would take you to my Endo. and thyroid dr. Still wish that you would reconsider the mammogram- but I will not bug you about this issue again. Now, to watch that Potato Diet that you have shared.
I'm so sorry you didn't get better news. I would combat this on all fronts. Obviously a good diet is super important. You've been vegan for 4 years? And it seems like you pretty much avoid the processed vegan foods. And yet this thyroid growth has gotten a bit worse in the last 8 years. That is something to think about. What I would do: clean up my diet as much as possible, keep up with the exercise, get good sleep, and not shun allopathic medicine, and get a second opinion. I wouldn't want to play around with a potential, however small, cancer diagnosis. My mom goes to a endochronoligist that I'm quite impressed with. He was actually the one that turned us onto a vegan diet way of life. If you are interested, I'll give you his name. His office is in Burnaby. FYI
So sorry for the ongoing health issues. crazy bodies we have. First thing I would do is search nutritionfacts.org. And basically any of the foods talked about there as fighting cancer are good to have as a regular part of anyone's diet.
Sorry to hear you didn't get the news you were hoping for. I would do all I could to eat the cleanest I could and raw or mostly raw would probably be best...no processed foods. I wouldn't over stress your body with too much strenuous exercise either...just a thought. Sending good thoughts❤️
Magnet therapy with the south end down, ceramic or neodymium, as close to 24 hrs/day as possible? That's how William H Philpott cured his wife's melanoma. None of our Internet Cures sound easy or convenient at all. =/ I always thought I would do Rick Simpson cannabis oil, but being high all the time would be terrible. I don't know you and I'm so sorry this is happening to you.
Gosh I have questions for you! I have nodules on both sides right & left with flecks on the left side. Why in the world do they want to do a biopsy? I was worried & now I wonder if there is any real point to it. I'm a carrier of breast cancer & have went through 1 single & another double biopsy & maybe that's why I see it pointless, no cancer so far! what's your thought
They wanted to do a biopsy because it has grown (a small amount though) since my last thyroid ultrasound. When I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto's they tested my largest nodule to rule out cancer, but they weren't able to rule it out... so they did the wait and see thing. It's still very small, maybe the size of a small grape.. or blueberry? As long as they check it every couple of years with an ultrasound and nothing changes you shouldn't have cause to worry too much about it. I hope that helps
+Banana Wisdom It does thank you! I have went back & fourth thinking how pointless this is going to be but then again, maybe not so much! Thank you very much & I hope all is well!!!

Cooking cruciform vegetables makes them dangerous?!
Cooking them is better.
I had a biopsy 2 weeks ago. Doctor called me but I missed but now I have an appointment for Saturday. I am very worried.
I had half my thyroid removed.
How are you feeling?

They wanted to surgically remove the nodule (and likely half my thyroid) but I refused. I opted to just monitor the nodule and watch for growth.

The new doctor had me get another biopsy, but the results were inconclusive (not enough tissue sample). They want me to go back YET again but I'm so done with this.
Man I'm so sorry to hear that you didn't get the news you were hoping for. After your last video I was worried since you didn't mention good or bad news but you mentioned they called and wanted to speak with you. I completely agree with your logic. I would do the exact same and treat it as if I had cancer and go fully raw. I've read a lot of stories about wheat grass juice everyday as well really helps. I was in your same boat just a month ago. I have a nodule in my lung that was found back in 2009. I hadn't had it x-rayed since 2011 so I decided to get one when I was getting routine blood work back in February. results came back that is was 12 mm and my heart sunk because I believed that the previous size was only 2.6mm. I was at a different provider so they couldn't compare the results. In the days waiting for them to get the old X-rays I was thinking my life was about to be turned upside down, I have to go fully raw, do I move south to warm weather, you know all those things that ar
How did you make out ? 15% is not bad at all.
I am not able to rewatch this video right now and forget everything I talked about but I do remember the situation: I ended up just leaving it alone. Recently I had another biopsy done but they weren't able to get enough tissue. I'm at the point where I really am not worried about it. If it's cancer, it's not doing much... just sitting there with very minimal growth.
I'd probably do as much raw unprocessed as I could. Do you take iodine? My doc told me my TSH has more than doubled in the last year and is doing a blood thryoid panel at the end of this month. In the meantime, she told me to start taking a minimal dose of iodine daily. Such conflicting info one the iodine supplementation!
+PB&LFV4HEALTH oh wow, doubled the TSH? How are you feeling? I'm so conflicted about the iodine. It seems that it can fuel the autoimmune fire when it comes to Hashimoto's. I do need to do more reading up on it and talk to my ND.
Weight gain and feeling more pain in joints, tired and stuff. Based on what I've read I was worried that the iodine might make it worse too. I hope you are feeling better from your biopsy. I really appreciate the info you've shared on your thyroid troubles.
Don't eat oil. Don't use it or eat foods that have oil listed in their ingredients. Check out Dr. John A. McDougall. You've probably already heard of him. He wrote The Starch Solution.
+Lena Cisowski oh yes I have been a fan of Dr. M for over 4 years now :) I stopped using oil approx 3 years ago, that shit is nasty.. and well, my gallbladder won't allow it anyway haha! Thanks for the tips :)
Check into the Gerson therapy, all about diet for cancer treatment, not saying you have to go, may just want to read up on it! Just a thought!
I say just keep eating healthy (the way you are). Keep an eye on it, and hope it's not cancer.
I'm sorry you're going through this Jeannine. That's a tough decision to make. I would probably do what you're thinking, and treat your body as if you're trying to heal it. Do a lot of research. I would have trouble sticking to fully raw, but if that turned out to be my best bet, I would probably try. Good luck!!
+Vegan Dog Lady thank-you
Unbelievably stressful place to be. So sorry for your suffering. First, please do not assume that cancer is inevitable. Everyone has abnormal cell activity in the body. We are all constantly killing off these potential cancers. Sometimes the body becomes overwhelmed & the cancer is able to manifest - but know that this is less often the case as the body has been dealing with potential cancer your whole life. The odds are extremely good that it won't manifest into cancer. Hear what the doctor said - 15% chance of cancer means 85% chance it won't happen!
Next, keep in mind that the same natural treatments to kill cancer are the same as prevents cancer. I recommend you watch the youtube film "Cancer: The Forbidden Cures." Then go to ChrisBeatCancer.com and watch all the testimonials, eat his recipes & read his whole site. This will help you make the big decisions much easier. Knowledge is power. So is human emotion, so take heart in the fact that your friends & fans are out here holding you in a vision of excellent health. Feel those good vibes.
And drop the stress like a hot rock. Check those resources to find out how to change your emotional state in a snap. All the best to you.
+Uber Virgin you make some really good points, 85% chance that it's not cancer is a really good way to look at it. Thank-you for all the suggestions
I'm so sorry this was the result. Thank you for sharing this with us, I can't imagine it was easy. I'll be sending even more good thoughts, especially healing ones your way 💜 I think I would go into healing mode & eat more raw, may juicing too. I personally would still incorporate potatoes, especially sweet potatoes. It wasn't too hard for me to do a raw till 4 style plan when I first went vegan. I was loosing weight & feeling super energized. I know you'll do what's best for you & I fully support whatever you decide to do. Much Love 😘
I am so sorry you didn't get good news. Very hard decisions. I would do the fully raw route I think. Gerson style. I have a heard that we all have cancer all the time and that our bodies are healing it all the time too. You are on the right path I think. I also think that our position directly west of Fukushima puts us at a disadvantage from the fallout.
+balderdashery G oh yes, the wind and water brought us a nice dose of Fukushima :/ Thank you for the support
Wishing you the best Jeanine! Thank you for sharing something so personal.
My boyfriend and I have actually talked about if either of us happened to develop cancer, that we would go fully raw as an option. I believe my diet now is super healthy, but think that going raw may be beneficial to a healing process.
I think the best thing for you to do is to just do as much research as you can. There is a lot of pseudo science out there, so be careful.
Have you read/listened to "How Not To Die"? He has certain chapters on preventing/reversing cancer in different parts of the body
+Candle Duck ha! I'm laughing because I have the book at home and I haven't read it yet lol! Resources right under my nose. I will crack it open tonight. Thank you
I have to go in for my first biopsy on my thyroid soon. I am where you are on deciding diet
I wish you the best of luck with healing. Personally I would get lots and lots of sleep, I believe our bodies heal best when sleeping. I would def eat mostly raw but probably eat a lot less. But I think the most important part would be mental attitude. I wouldn't even think about cancer. Our thoughts are very powerful. I would focus on feeling good, all positive thoughts. Repeat some health affirmations. That's what I would do :)
+Natural Nicktrition very good point Nick
I would absolutely start treating yourself holistically! I truly believe that real food (vegan, raw, juicing) CAN make a difference in our body composition!!!
+Shannon Gona thank-you Shannon
If go fully raw for sure. Lots of juicing!!!!!
Essiac Tea, turmeric paste.
Check out Dr Robert Morse.
Hmm that's a tough decision to make. Plus I had trouble sticking to fully raw 100% but then again I've heard of people feeling awesome after they have had. here thyroid (the whole thyroid) removed I think I would consider that and get it over with to help feel better
+Laineyslife I have such a hard time with raw too, I love Raw Till 4... by far my fav way to eat. If I tell myself I'm going to do a fully raw day all I can think about is cooked food loL! Thank-you for the thyroid input
My mom currently has cancer, so I've watched a lot of videos and made a playlist:
ua-cam.com/play/PLTVUWiDkqPInIW2B6jAoNxj2XihvYqZB7.html
+Tallie Allen thank-you for all the suggestions
Sorry to hear you didn't get the results you wanted. I would try and think really positive....that yes the cells have turned abnormal and could become cancerous but do everything possible to stop it from happening. I'd get those veggies in by juicing every morning. After reading "how not to die" I use a bit of my green juice and blend in half a teaspoon of turmeric and a slice of avocado (the fat makes the turmeric work much better). Turmeric has anti cancer benefits and my little turmeric smoothie tastes delicious too. Definitely get your copy out and read it. Some good simple tips in there.
+juicelake I have the book, I just need to actually read it. I didn't realize tumeric works best with some fats, thanks for the tip!
I just had my ultrasound today for a thyroid nodule. My doctor called me this evening and said one of them needs to be biopsied. Still waiting to get my lab results back on how my thyroid is functioning.
Ask for afirma veracyte and ThyroSeq 3 genetic sequencing during your biopsy. If its benign look into Radiofrequency ablation too.
My mom had her thyroid removed and she has no medical issues except for low blood pressure. The dr. Did an EEG and said that my heart was turned a little bit- thus was so dandy to find out on a day like this.
Yes please consider healing with food!! My thyroid was removed (first one half, then the other, because I was diagnosed with cancer). I wish I knew then what I know now!! I would definitely try the 'food is thy medicine route'! I take a pill daily now and sometimes still feel sad about not being able to get off those meds, because with no thyroid that's just not an option. In the end it's your decision. But if you want to chat more on this, let me know. Best, Rieta
I am sorry to take so long to respond. I don't know what is best for you. I would like to suggest your going to pcrm.com they have alot of current research and free downloads you might find useful. Hugs to you and yours.
+okstillhere thank-you!
I would also do 6 months Raw or mostly Raw and work towards trying to heal the body to the best you can do. before the test. Being proactive is always the best thing to be in life. Sorry to hear how the results were.
+Patrick E thanks Pat, I'm thankful that it wasn't totally horrible news though :)
I would it, do biopsy in 3 or 6 month (you know that i know what i'm talking about :D) but i would do it, the problem with biopsy is because the first one we don't know what is going to happen, we are stressed out but it's easier!! the second one we remember the pain, that's the problem! you have to try meditate
Your eating is already good, i'm not sure raw only, is really good, at least you have to love what you're eating, feel good about it, myself i need rice, potatoes,oats, nuts etc love cooked food too !!! :D
And meditation everyday, and yogaaa!!! then when the biopsy comes it will be easier to fight the stress and the pain
one step at a time !! take care
Adding another as my first was too long :)
...Are thinking right now. Turns out it was 14mm and mine has shrunk. Thanks be to whatever it is that has allowed it to shrink. I just wanted to share with you in hopes that you will have positive changes with yours. I will be thinking of you every step of the way. Good luck❤️
+KerstenWe are thinking of moving to the US at some point, my husband is American... my main motivation for that is cheaper cost of living and the option to choose to live somewhere with more sun and FRUIT! This thyroid thing is motivating to move sooner than later. We shale see! Thank you so much for sharing your story!
Join some natural healing of cancer Facebook groups
I would treat it as cancer. Why not? Check out Gearson Therapy. There is a book that explains their protocol - and lots of info online. All I really know is lots of juices and coffee enemas. And raw foods.
+Veggie V thank-you so much
I would have it removed because if it is It might spread somewhere else
Several years later and no problems. Best decision I've ever made.
Just want to send you loving positive energy and thoughts your way!! :-)
No suggestions just want to send good wishes as you research and make your decisions about how you want to precede.
Yes, I. Think that monitoring the thyroid is good. I waited with my cervix for 15 years until the cells from the paps and the bio went from abnormal to precancerous. Then, I had the surgery. None of this take half if it out. When it is time, it is time. Then, I would get the whole thyroid taken out. I wish that you were in Austin, Texas. I would take you to my Endo. and thyroid dr. Still wish that you would reconsider the mammogram- but I will not bug you about this issue again. Now, to watch that Potato Diet that you have shared.
I'm so sorry you didn't get better news. I would combat this on all fronts. Obviously a good diet is super important. You've been vegan for 4 years? And it seems like you pretty much avoid the processed vegan foods. And yet this thyroid growth has gotten a bit worse in the last 8 years. That is something to think about. What I would do: clean up my diet as much as possible, keep up with the exercise, get good sleep, and not shun allopathic medicine, and get a second opinion. I wouldn't want to play around with a potential, however small, cancer diagnosis. My mom goes to a endochronoligist that I'm quite impressed with. He was actually the one that turned us onto a vegan diet way of life. If you are interested, I'll give you his name. His office is in Burnaby. FYI
+Patt T thank-you for sharing Pat! Yes I would love to get the Endo's name please!
+Banana Wisdom his name is, Dr Aram Shahparaki. If I ever need the services of an endo, I'd be getting a referral to him.
So sorry! Stressful times!! ☹️
Personally I would juice and go high raw. Eating mostly organic produce. I support you whatever you decide. 😘 XOXOXOXOX
So sorry for the ongoing health issues. crazy bodies we have. First thing I would do is search nutritionfacts.org. And basically any of the foods talked about there as fighting cancer are good to have as a regular part of anyone's diet.
Sorry it is pcrm.org.
Sorry to hear you didn't get the news you were hoping for. I would do all I could to eat the cleanest I could and raw or mostly raw would probably be best...no processed foods. I wouldn't over stress your body with too much strenuous exercise either...just a thought. Sending good thoughts❤️
Praying for you ♥️♥️♥️
Do a water fast!!!
Research “iodine” pray for you ♥️
Magnet therapy with the south end down, ceramic or neodymium, as close to 24 hrs/day as possible? That's how William H Philpott cured his wife's melanoma. None of our Internet Cures sound easy or convenient at all. =/ I always thought I would do Rick Simpson cannabis oil, but being high all the time would be terrible. I don't know you and I'm so sorry this is happening to you.
+koalamama2 thank-you so much!
Gosh I have questions for you! I have nodules on both sides right & left with flecks on the left side. Why in the world do they want to do a biopsy? I was worried & now I wonder if there is any real point to it. I'm a carrier of breast cancer & have went through 1 single & another double biopsy & maybe that's why I see it pointless, no cancer so far! what's your thought
They wanted to do a biopsy because it has grown (a small amount though) since my last thyroid ultrasound. When I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto's they tested my largest nodule to rule out cancer, but they weren't able to rule it out... so they did the wait and see thing. It's still very small, maybe the size of a small grape.. or blueberry? As long as they check it every couple of years with an ultrasound and nothing changes you shouldn't have cause to worry too much about it. I hope that helps
+Banana Wisdom It does thank you! I have went back & fourth thinking how pointless this is going to be but then again, maybe not so much! Thank you very much & I hope all is well!!!
RAW!!! PLEASE GO RAW AND ORGANIC
