4) Don’t be afraid to laugh about it. I almost laughed when the surgeon told me I had cancer. I’m not even kidding. It sounds terrible, I know, but finding out I had cancer was almost comical to me. With a horrendous streak of bad luck lately, this was just the icing on the cake.
5) If you feel uneasy with your doctor/surgeon, get a second opinion. As you may have read in my previous posts, I felt uncomfortable with Surgeon 1 from the beginning. I am so thankful to have been referred to Surgeon 2, who is much more experienced in dealing with thyroid cancer and has done countless similar surgeries to the one I will have.
6) Be brave! It sounds cliche and cheesy, but face this stupid cancer bull shit with all the guts and glory you have. Stay strong, be patient, and smile whenever you can. You are in control of this — say and do what you want to do and do it courageously.
