Hi I am 42 year old was diagnosed with Thryoid Ca that mets to the bones lung and skull, I had a TT in June 2008 and followed by a high dose of RAI.  Then in Sept a had a hip surgery due to the cancer.. I had a second dose of high RAI in January 2009 and have to repeat in six months.. I have monthly zometa for my bones... I have to say what is helping me is God, when this happened to me back in May 2008 I was so scared I thought I was going to die Boy I have Cancer.. I pray and read the bible and going to church on sunday has helped me bringing my family to church has helped everyone.. Jesus is healing me I believe that.. Mark Brazee is and author he has some good books.. God Loves you.

God bless

Try and stay positive and just what your are doing, taking it day by day. I just turned 42 in Nov. I was DX in Sept. 2008 had my TT on 2/18/09 and now will be doing the RAI on 4/3/09.
I know that it is hard to stay positive some days. I am going through the pre-RAI hypohell and just feel like the life is being sucked out of me some days. Today I felt better but I looked a lot worse (Big dark bags under my eyes). I just keep telling myself that this is what I have to go through for now so I can be better later.

My best wishes to you..hang in there.

Hi,  I'm just about to have surgery myself in a few days.   I've never had anything taken out of me and I'm 44.  Well except my daughter.... : )   I was quite willing to let her come into the world.  So I too am taking things a day at a time.  So...how are you doing?
