My Thyroid Cancer Story

by | Sep 29, 2021 | Health & Fitness

I was 28 when I felt a lump in my neck that ended up being Thyroid Cancer. Papillary Carcinoma to be exact. It isn’t until you don’t have a thryoid that you realize how important this small organ in your neck truly is. The thryroid hormones effect so many aspects of our wellness beyond the endocrine system. I spent the first 8 years after thyroid cancer feeling like an exhausted, depressed, version of my former self. It wasn’t until I focused on research and being my own advocate that I was able to get the treatment I needed to start feeling better. It was a frustrating road of study, paying private doctors out of pocket, and begging main stream medical to hear me and take the information I was giving them and at least TRY to do things my way. Doctors don’t know everything, and our wellness goes as far as we’re willing to advocate for ourselves. I hope my story helps someone who is struggling with thyroid issues. If you have questions about my journey with thyroid cancer and thyroid treatment, please feel free to comment.

Thank you for watching! Remember what I always say, be good to yourself and to others!

Hugs & Love ,

    Stacy, you made me cry. Part of your story just made me go wow, God had you check your neck for that cancer. Earlier on when you were young you had been told what to look for! That is such a great story. Now look at you.
    I went through cancer with my daughter . She was having Chemo and she came to me crying. She asked me to help her get well. She didn’t want to die and she didn’t have the energy for more Chemo. I trained as a RN and was into wellness Medicine. So she got well from Lymphatic Cancer! She took so much CBD oil,homemade!
    I knew a Dr. Buffman that so impressed me. He had a wellness Center.
    You are both well and thriving! Bless you Stacy. God does surely love you.

    Hi Naioma. You are such a wonderful person. Thank you for sharing your daughter’s story with me. I’m so truly glad she is healthy and thriving. That must have been so painful to watch as a Mother. Hugs to you! I appreciate you.
