Breathing light......breathing again.
Again, this is not about the photo.
For those of you who have been following my son's journey, he had his surgery today,
IT'S NOT CANCER!!!
We were told in mid July that all the pathology from Az meant metastatic thyroid cancer.
Both the MD in Az and Dr. Clayman (thyoid cancer expert in Florida) agreed.
We came to Fla. for Adam's surgery with Dr. C., expecting a thyroidectomy, to learn how far it had metastasized and what the follow up treatments would be.
He told us there was a very remote possibility it wasn't cancer.. But what he needed to see wasn't on the scans or ultrasounds from Az.
Yesterday he did his own. He saw it.
A peculiar, rare thing, and he saw it. He told us then he thought there was a good chance it wasn't cancer, but he did the surgery today to remove the mass and some lymph nodes. All looked normal, the initial pathology reports were normal, the thyroid gland scans looked normal.
The final pathology reports won't be in for a few days, but he said he expected no surprises.
This doctor has been treating thyroid cancer exclusively for over 20 years, he's done literally over 8000 thyroid cancer surgeries, and is recognized as "a genius in all things thyroid."
He said it's not cancer. I believe him.
Then I gave him a hug, he left the room and my brother held me while I cried like a baby.
We went from metastatic cancer to no cancer. I'm still crying as I type this.
I want to thank all of you who have sent words, said prayers, sent healing thoughts, thoughts of encouragement and support.
I especially want to thank those, you know who you are, who have been sending messages, emails, photos.....love.
You are forever in my heart.
And tonight.......it's a very very happy heart. ❤️
