The best of the worst

~The Best of the Worst~
In March of this year I went in for a surgery that was supposed to be minor. Remove a lump on my thyroid and it would be over. Well, unfortunately that lump was cancer and my thyroid was removed. Here I am after the surgery.
My neck was sore and swollen.
But I felt relatively good, tired but good.

In April I had some radiation and was secluded from my family for 5 days. That was hard but I got through it, I even got some things done, and had some me time.
Last week it was time for the thyroid scan to see if the cancer was gone or not. Good news. The cancer is gone!!! I am truly blessed and thank my Father in Heaven for watching over me! Thanks to all of you for your prayers, thoughts and meals! I have the best family and friends any one could ask for!! Wahoo!
