It's been a hot minute since I last posted. I had hoped my blog would've been something I'd stick with, and I do apologize for not following through. Writing is one of my passions, and I've definitely missed it. Actually, I have several drafts but I've neglected to post each one because I tend to… Continue reading The Comeback

2020 Vision
Have y'all noticed that meme floating around where the guy says, "I hate when people ask what I'm doing next year. It's not like I have 20/20 vision!" Har har, am I right? I want to insert here that I had a whole draft ready to publish, and then I after listening to one of… Continue reading 2020 Vision
Love keeps no record of wrong
I had planned on posting this at Valentines' day the stores are cluttered with balloons, cheesy cards and overpriced chocolates. But it wasn't just right, and now I'm ready to share it with you.

It's dark outside. The house is quiet. The kids are (finally!) in bed and the husband is headed there, too. Where are you?

Is There Life After Thyroid Cancer ?

What Thyroid Cancer Patients Want You to Know
I asked fellow ThyCa survivors what they wanted everyone else to know about thyroid cancer (ThyCa), such as going through diagnosis, the treatment, and the stigma surrounding life after ThyCa. Every endocrinologist, oncologist or family practitioner with Thyroid patients, every caregiver and family member of a ThyCa Warrior should read this.
My Thyca Journey: Part One- Diagnosis
There is a point in pregnancy when everything gets all squished up inside. Your organs move into spaces you didn’t know you had, breathing and other normal bodily functions get a little harder, and sleep escapes you. It was at this point when I was expecting our first child that I felt a “tightness” in… Continue reading My Thyca Journey: Part One- Diagnosis
My ThyCa Journey: Part Two- Treatment
The minutes following my doctor appointment in which I was informed I had Thyroid Cancer were a blur as I went into prep mode: call the parents, arrange for childcare, etc. Just 6 days after my partial thyroidectomy, I would have a total thyroidectomy, the third surgery since having delivered a baby not 6 months… Continue reading My ThyCa Journey: Part Two- Treatment
