Thyroid Completion Surgery Monday

Hi All,
I have not posted in a while.... It's been a long journey to this surgery and I am a nervous wreck!!!

Second biopsy FINALLY happened in April when it was supposed to happen in Dec 08.. definitely two hurlthe cell nodules in there-large ones at that.

This has been going on for so long because I developed an autoimmune disease called Sarcoidosis in November of 08 and thanks to that this surgery has been put off 4 times.

I worry about the cancer spreading... I'm worried it's too late. Big hurthle cell nodules, 20% cancer, I just don't know if I can take another blow to my health, this has been hell.

So the rest of my thyroid will be removed Monday.. providing nothing sarc-related postpones it again.

I just feel doomed :(

This has been a rough year! I am hoping to be cancer-free but let's just say I feel very unlucky right now with this sarcoid.
