Update on my Thyroid "Cancer"

Hello Reader,

I just wanted to update you all. It has been a crazy few weeks here! God is good! I am set to have surgery on July 14th unless the dr feels I need it sooner. I am having some pain in the right side of my neck and into my collar bone often and most of the time now. We have an appointment with my dr in the morning to discuss the surgery, answer questions about recovery and possible cancer treatments. I can say that this started out as a no big deal, easy peasy surgery and life moves on. Now, I am a little more unsure and looking at it like the big deal that it is. It kind of hit me this week that I could possibly have cancer. It could be spreading. I have 7 kids to care for and wow...that's a lot. But, it also hit me that I have a GREAT BIG GOD!! He is amazing!! SO thankful to walk this road as a child of God and the peace and comfort he brings.

I will post about my surgery and recovery. I just want to share my experience in case it can help someone else. I know it's an easy surgery and should go well.

As for menus and THM planning, I am still working on it. I have to say honestly I have not planned anything in the past couple weeks. We have been flying by the seat of our pants! Lol I know that I need to plan as it is best, but I am trying to fit all the rest of our homeschool year into a month. It is really a lot more than I thought it would be. So we have been doing lots of sandwhiches, hot dogs, and easy meals.

BUT... I weighed in recently! I am down to 225!!! I have not been this weight in YEARS!!! Even though I am not 100% THM, I am still losing weight! Last fall I was 260 lbs. So happy with results. May be slow but it is soooo worth it!!

Hope you are all well!
God Bless!!
