I'm sick.... thyroid cancer, adenomyosis/endometriosis, and tailgut cyst

[@iSheree]

I just came across your channel and feel less alone. I have had adenomyosis, endometriosis, PCOS, uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, and ovarian cysts. I recently got diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I was born disabled with spina bifida, became Deaf at 3 months due to hospital negligence and since then have developed over 20+ chronic illnesses including some unknown autoimmune disease. The cancer is kicking me while I am already down… but I am gonna beat it since I am only 32 with a good chance of survival. My surgery to remove the cancer in May 2023 did not come without complications. I ended up in ICU and nearly died. I had heaps of cancer in my neck and my lymph nodes were as big as golf balls. I lost my whole thyroid and the parathyroids, and had a neck dissection in which they removed many lymph nodes. I had my RAI in August and now I am just waiting to have the scan to see if it worked. I have had a few surgeries but the one surgery they won’t let me have is a hysterectomy, because I haven’t had kids, even though I don’t want to have them! They didn’t care that I bled for 8 months straight at one point. I have no rights to my own body… Taking the pill continuously may have caused 10+ tumours to grow in my liver, so I had to stop taking that as well. So now I am suffering and bleeding so much and begging for a hysterectomy at this point. I have no idea if I have cancer in my liver or not, still trying to find out. They did a PET scan (cancer scan) and various parts of my body lit up. I have multiple enlarged lymph nodes, tumours and nodules throughout my body and organs. I also have a pre-cancerous blood condition that I am hoping hasn’t progressed to a blood cancer. This year has been really scary and I am hoping 2024 will be a better one. Anyway, I have seen that you have had the surgeries to solve your issues… I really hope you’re doing a lot better now. ❤

i’m so sorry to hear all the pain you’ve been through. It is traumatic and i hope you have support or seek support to find peace through the rough times. it took me a while to get back to “normal”, and meditation/journaling/gardening was very helpful during the time to stay grounded

[@iSheree]

@@iamOOTO Thank you so much for your reply and kind words. Absolutely need to do things that ground you when going through a stressful time. I need to do that more, but I find myself so sick and tired and unable to lift my head off my pillow… I am hoping that I can get on top of this mountain of pain, suffering and stress. I hope you are doing well now and adjusting to your new normal. ❤️

You were having symptoms but didn't know it. Hair falling out and feeling foggy and the other symptoms you were experiencing are common thyroid issues. I hope you are feeling better and get everything figured out

[@iamOOTO]

Yeah. I had thyroid cancer surgery and removed half my thyroid
