feeling down
hi all! grr feeling down today, so far during all this thyroid issue i've been pretty upbeat and taken it all in my stride that i've gotta have my whole thyroid removed and be on medication for the rest of my life at 26! but it's my boss who's finally got to me!
been honest from the start, told her that i'd prob have to have some treatment somewhen, was sposed to have the radioactive iodine to shrink the nodules and she was like yeah ok just let me know when you need the time off, told her that it dependend on the biopsy result though, (she couldn't understand why i had to have it biopsied as her mum had a diffuse goitre which was never biopsied) she actually said to me when i was having some pressure pain 'i've known people with thyroid problems before but not like what you say (made me feel like i was making it up!),
then when i had the biopsy and i told her i had to have surgery instead because it came back suspicious she actually laughed and said 'suspicious, they don't think it's malignant do they' and then laughed again, like that was absolutely ludicrous thought! now i've got a date for the surgey and she wants to see the confirmation letter when it arrives, what does she think i'm gunna go off sick and then go on holiday for 2 weeks! i wish!
grr i'm so upset, they make me feel like i'm making it all up and the mean time i've got to deal with the fact that i'm not and this is really happening!
sorry for the moan, hope everyone else is ok x x x

This is from ChitChat. She was able to remember the name of the poster from a few months back, then **POOF**, brain fog got her and she posted this to someone else. I'm still amazed that she remember who it was in the first place.....
"Check for posts by AttheEndofMyRope ... she had posted alot about issues with her boss .. she needed RAI .. about 8mos ago if memory serves me right and all turned out ok for her ..........gee, wonder how she is doing! "

WHO IS IT THAT posted boss problems about 8-10 months ago .. maybe she can search under her screename to see she is not alone!!!!!
Her name escapes me .......................

Like you PLANNED to get sick? Jeez! How cold and uncaring is she? That's just awful. Being that she's a nurse, she should know better than compare your issue to others. Everyone is different! Unbelieveable that she laughed after telling her about the biopsy results. I sure would hate to have her for a nurse!! She best watch it, or she'll have the chicken club running after her. Then she'll be sorry! :-)
Congrats on your upcoming marriage! Stick close to the forum, as there are lots of kind, caring people here that will help you through this.

Your boss sounds like a real piece of work. It will come back and bite her in the arse, of this I am certain.
You just worry about you- surgery and side effects and medication are nothing to take lightly, so save your energy for taking care of yourself. We are all here for you if you need to talk/vent/scream/cry/laugh!

How true! We are here for you.
What is it with some nurses? I guess there are a lot of really good ones so when one is a bit off, that one sticks out. A nurse, who is the wife of someone I know is like what you describe, she blows off every single thing like it's no big deal. Then when no one tells her anything, she feels left out. It's so weird.
Hang in there.

I know it's hard, but try and not let your boss get you down. Concentrate on taking care of yourself. That is more important.
Everyone here is wonderful and will give you all the support you need.

Your boss is a certified bee-otch. She is jealous of you because you are smart and pretty and kind and she is nasty.
Dont worry about her. Karma will get her in the end. One day maybe she'll need the support of her boss and wont get it! Dumb*ss!!!
I know you are stresesd and scared, but trust me, we HAVE ALL BEEN THERE / ARE THERE. We are here for you. Vent away!!!

I'm sorry to hear that your boss is acting that way!! I have a male boss and he has been truly wonderful. I've been off work since the end of Feb. because I'm having a terrible time adjusting to my meds after a TT. I wouldn't know what to do if he wasn't so supportive. I know my nob will still be there when I get myself straightened out. I wish I had been on vacation for the last 7 weeks....not...pure hell!!
Sorry, don't let her get you down. Worry about yourself and take care of yourself first!!

The suspicios nodule may require core biopsy. the FNA biopsy can pick up only few cells, while core biopsy takes the sample of the nodule tissue.
Oh my God - that is harassment! What a horrible individual this woman is. There really is no excuse for her vile behaviour. It is tough enough when you are ill and uncertain about treatments. She is not an expert in this area simply because her mother had treatment - I think we would all hope that medicine evolves and improves with research and time. One treatment does not fit all - hence the multi billion pharmacogenomics industry!
I do wish you well and hope you return to your old self soon.
(I know you are probably too stressed to even contemplate reporting such behaviour at the moment but an off the record chat with your union representatives may give you some piece of mind and recourse later if you so choose)

What an absolute b****h your boss sounds. How can someone be so callous when you are not very well and facing surgery and could really do with some sympathy and understanding.
I know it is not easy but try not to let it get you down, just keep thinking positive and that soon you will be getting better and feeling good again.
Good luck.
