September is Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month


8 years cancer free. It’s such a surreal experience. I had cancer. While pregnant. I just dealt with it. Slowly as years passed I emotionally dealt with it. Every morning I take a pill that controls everything a thyroid would. 

Your thyroid controls your metabolism, how fast your heart beats, how deep you breathe, how your weight fluctuates, your body temperature, cholesterol levels, and menstrual cycles. Any slight shift can cause a bunch of chaos. Luckily my endocrinologist is amazing and I do what she says. I remember she looked me in the eyes and said “if you do exactly what I say you will survive this and live a normal life”

So I did, she was right and here I am.
