Results came back and my thyroid nodules are/were benign. I just have Hashimoto's disease and a goiter. I'm really very lucky.
All this news is good, but part of me is cautious and worried. Has a lot to do with watching my mother die of breast cancer at only 53.
Morbid thoughts: "Everyone gets cancer. You're safe - for now. There's many other cancers that you can get in your lifetime. "
Deep down inside, part of me thought that if I had thyroid cancer, I wouldn't/couldn't get any other cancer for the rest of my life. I'd get cancer "over with." Disturbing thoughts. Negative thoughts. I'm so morose sometimes.
But I will not judge my thoughts as positive or negative. I will let them be and move on. That's the least I can do for myself right now and always. Be kind.
I'm really very glad it's benign.
I'm 34. My "Jesus year" was one of the toughest and more transformative years of my life. I achieved a professional goal, got pregnant with my second child, separated from my husband, bought a house on my own and detached from my emotionally abusive father. I am learning how to love and be loved and how to navigate emotions. I'm experiencing a life I've always known was there. I'm learning what feels good and what doesn't. I'm learning to be me.
