Good luck.
I cross my fingers for you...:)

L, my daughter-in-law, is going through the exact same thing. L had a biopsy and her initial diagnosis came while she was in the hospital for pre-eclampsia. About 2 weeks after an emergency C-section, L had her thyroid removed.

She is going to have to undergo iodine radiation therapy... which means she has to stay entirely away from her newborn and 6-year-old for 7-14 days, stay at least 6 feet away from my son, double flush, and wash all sheets, towels, clothing, etc. immediately after using.

Anyway, I was telling my oncologist about L, and she said that if one has to have cancer, thyroid cancer is the best kind to have. She said not only is it rare to have a fatality from it, she personally has never known anyone to die from thyroid cancer.

Don't worry. At the worst, you'll be inconvenienced, but honestly, you will be fine. So hope for the best and cope with the rest.
