Thanks for telling your story Kendra; you were and are very brave. My thyroid story goes wayyyy back.....Nov. 22, 1963, the day that President Kennedy was killed. My Dr. had asked me a couple weeks previously "how long have you had this lump on your neck?" and i answered "what lump?" I was 19 years old and already the mother of 3 children and needless to say i was terrified. My parents came 600 miles to look after the kids and into the hospital i go and i was told my surgery went well. By the time i was allowed to go home there were no more tv broadcasts about Kennedy. He was my hero and i felt i was the only person on earth who hadn't been able to watch it much to my dismay. My scar was almost ear to ear and covered with gauze for several weeks. I was embarrassed and ashamed to have to do the grocery shopping and all with my 3 little kids while everyone looked horrified as they stared at me, maybe wondering if an ax killer was nearby, lol. It healed eventually of course but i was still worried about it and so i felt that area many times every day and one day about 6 months later i found another lump, called the Dr. and i was back in the hospital again. Second time around all went well but of course embarrassing because of how everyone nearby reacted to the sight of it all over again. I kept feeling my neck for about 20 years after that and all has been well ever since and so i finally stopped checking it out. I take 200 mcg of Synthroid every day although i feel that it's not strong enough as i'm always cold even in the summer; long sleeves, long pants, warm socks up to my knees and i'm still cold and uncomfortable but my Dr. says no to an increase. I am going on 80 next Feb and glad to still be here. Best wishes to you Kendra!

I'm going on 45 & had thyroid cancer back when I was 24. Initially cancer was never suspected. I had a pocket in one lobe that kept filling with fluid. I had it drained 2x by FNA, nothing suspicious was found. They took out the one lobe & sent it off for testing. Never heard from but couldn't shake the feeling something was wrong. Good thing I trusted my gut. Called the surgeon to inquire was told if anything was wrong they would have contacted me. She pulled up the file & the horror in her voice when she said "nobody contacted you?". That was how I found out I had both papillary & follicular thyroid cancer. Was going to have to wait a cpl months for the swelling to go down from the 1st surgery & then they would remove the other lobe. This time no cancer but it had gone autoimmune & had Hashimotos. No idea which came 1st & then 10yrs later I was diagnosed with Celiac. I was treated with radio active iodine to make sure everything was gone cancer wise. Almost 20yrs cancer free. On life long synthroid as well. Thank you for sharing your story. One thing I'm curious about with the scar did they change the way they remove the thyroid? My scar was at the base not higher up or does that depend on case by case basis?

[@erinisuhmazing]

[@aliyahossaini8772]

Why u removed ur thyroid

[@IAMGiftbearer]

I'm always for patients educating themselves. Doctors often don't have the time to do all that research and have been known to miss things or misdiagnose, sometimes for years. Nobody should be that dependent on one source of information. Luckily your doctor interpreted the results correctly and gave you adequate treatment. You have to realize nowadays that insurance reimbursement plays a part in how aggressively a doctor pursues a problem and most doctors no longer work for themselves but for somebody else who owns the practice.

Hi Kendra, I live in South Africa. The sun is always shining here and there is always the risk of developing skin cancer if you have a light skin. I developed a growth on the lower eye lid of my right eye. I do not know if it is cancer or just a benign growth but I went on a high nutrition diet for about two months and the growth have shrunk noticeably. I would like to share the diet with you. The soup Ingredients: - two handfuls of Chopped broccoli, one chopped onion (purple), two bags of green tea, two pinches of mixed herbs, two sticks of cut celery, Two handfuls of frozen and crushed spinach or kale, half a table spoon of crushed garlic, Three shakes of black pepper, seven shakes of turmeric, two tablespoons full of apple cider vinegar (with the mother), one bag of white onion powder soup for flavour, a hand full of cooked red speckled beans and a handful of cooked mince meat. Just add all the ingredients in a pot, add boiling water and switch the stove on high till the water boils. Then lower the heat until the water simmer, Let the soup simmer for an hour. The soup is now ready. I would only drink water in the morning. At 12h00 I would start eating the soup. There will be about two helpings that you can eat in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. I also ate a fruit salad every day in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. (Note: Apparently turmeric reduces the effect of some chemotherapy drugs and thus should not be taken during chemotherapy.) During the rest of the week I would also eat food that contains vitamin D like avocado’s, mushrooms, liver and eggs in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. It seems to be working for me, maybe it will also work for you. I pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ that you will be healed. Amen.

You are so beautiful! Just gorgeous! Your hair is amazing, I don't blame you for playing with it, lol. I used to have very thick hair too but now that I'm older (63) it's thinned & gray. The blue-black color is stunning. It's perfect for your complexion (I saw your earlier vids where you were blonde & that color doesn't do you justice, although you're beautiful regardless of the color). Btw, I love your eyebrows too (my daughter has shapley brows like you, I was never so fortunate).Believe when people say they wouldn't have noticed that scar .. it's hardly visible. I've had hypothyroidism since I was 25 & it's hard to find the right dosage of medication. Mine always ends up out of whack. I've been worried recently about my thyroid perhaps having nodules or something because I notice one side is much larger than the other (I think it's my thyroid I'm seeing). I can't figure out exactly where my thyroid is. Is is located right where your scar is? Because what I'm seeing is lower than that, more like at the base of my neck. Anyway, just wanted to tell you this is one of the most informative vids on thyroid cancer I've seen, & I really appreciate that. Also thought you should know your beauty is compelling.

I just had the ultrasound and they are on the right lobe and are pretty decent size. One measured at 1.7 cm. I am waiting for the FNA and I am a little concerned. I do have some calcification and I have very high calcium levels in my blood which hasn't decreased. Should I be concerned? What advice would you give me? I am sorry I know it is pretty vague.

You are so strong and brave sharing your story in such detail. Thank you. I had an ultrasound done in Oct for another issue and two large nodules were found so I had the FNa. The nodule on the right had adequate cells but it’s still not clear if the nodule is cancerous and the left nodule was too deep to obtain an adequate sample so they are recommending further testing. My primary is away on paternity leave until early Feb so I decided to wait til I see him to discuss what tests I should have…someone I know is having thyroid cancer surgery this week because it’s spread to her lymph nodes. She recommends that I have a PET scan. Do you have any thoughts you could recommend of what type of tests to incur going forward? If you cannot give out this information, I will understand.

Hi Kendra, many thanks for the share. Are you familiar with multinodular goiter and if radiofrequency ablation is a viable treatment option?

[@sabinao5602]

Currently waiting on results from First surgery to see whether I have to take out the entire thyroid 😫 thank you for sharing this!

[@winstonmcquoid1864]

I’m 40 and was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and to tell you the truth! It did freak me out! I lost my mom to cancer and thought oh boy guess I’m next! All I know is the doctor told me is that it’s about a inch and a half in size!

[@pvjessy455]

So strong you are to reveal these things and be brave

[@holliss5]

More Power to you ,thanks for expressing your story ,God Bless You 💪😄❤

[@lolaomarova1903]

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm still waiting for my blood work results.

[@giftlola8764]

I understand what you going through. I didn't believe when dr Isibor on youtube said he can help me beat hypothyroidism with his natural herbal supplement, now I'm totally healed everything is now normal thank you doctor! You can also reach out to him for treatment

[@LearningGrace]

Didn’t notice your scar at all. Thank you for this video. I have Hashimoto’s and family that had thyroid cancer so this was difficult but good to see/hear. Thanks again!

[@elizabethorsillo7187]

I appreciate you sharing about your experience. I came across this video while I’m waiting on whether or not I have thyroid cancer. I already have primary hyperparathyroidism, and throughout my testing for that, they found thyroid nodules. I’m having an FNB this coming Tuesday. So, I am 52 years old, and have a family history of thyroid cancer (my brother had it about 10 years ago) and I am a personal survivor of Hodgkin Lymphoma of nearly 30 years. Part of the treatment for my cancer was radiation, and yes, my thyroid was exposed to the radiation with my treatments, which has also caused me to have hypothyroidism. So my cancer risk is greatly increased. The earliest I can get into see an ENT surgeon is February. Ugh!

[@isafeli9530]

Yes it's good to hear , my mom has to do a biopsy tomorrow. This is very helpful. What was ur symptoms if u had any before u found out.

[@angelsbutterflies6293]

Thanks for sharing this video and I'm glad you're well now. I've been dealing with multiple thyroid nodules and multiple thyroid cysts for many years now. In the past I've had several thyroid ultrasounds and several thyroid biopsies done over the years. My Pa just ordered another thyroid ultrasound that i will have done as soon as they call me. I have so many other health issues going on its not even funny and I'm sure it's related to my thyroid because ive seen alot of vidoes and heard so many other people's stories. I do believe that it all depends on what kind of insurance you have if you even have insurance and i say this because i have many nodules covering my thyroid along with many thyroid cysts as well and i know of other people who have less thyroid problems and they have they're thyroid taken out. I know every dr and specilaists are different as well and it's sad how our country treats people because we all should be treated the same. The Doctors think of youre blood levels on you're thyroid tests are okay then you're okay and that's simply not true. I also saw in you're statement i was reading that all you're labs came back normal but yet you still had cancer, so why do doctors think this i don't understand? Especially when you have multiple nodules and multiple cysts itself crazy. I don't know why doctors and specialists can't be more thorough. I mean I'm sure some are but then again a lot aren't. They really should educate themselves and take the time. But thanks for sharing and i hope everyone is well and God Bless everyone.

[@gin3205]

I have alot of nodules also. I'm scared

[@SimV239]

I have cysts too, but my doctor says they’re too small, he almost never addresses the cysts, is borderline dismissive about it.. I visit my endocrinologist every 3 months to check my thyroid function, I have hypothyroidism. I remind him of my cysts during my visits and insist on ultrasound every few months, so far they seem to be alright.. but I’m ever so worried about the nodules, my thyroid level is always within range though. I don’t know if I’m stressing myself out by googling and watching videos.. but then I also think, being informed prepares you for what is to come in the future.

[@bella3987]

A nodule at any age does not always mean cancer. In fact, 95% of thyroid nodules are benign. Don’t scare people like that.

[@tammyharsh4053]

I was diagnosed in October 2020 with ovarian cancer during one of my scans they found nodules on my thyroid.. They have just been doing repeat ultrasounds on my thyroid. Last year radiology determined one suspicious. I repeated the ultrasound yesterday. The suspicious thyroid has increased in size. I read the report myself.He related the message to my oncologist that it needs to be biopsied..I see oncology tomorrow for my blood work for my ovarian cancer. I'm freaking out. I just hope he doesn't put off doing the needle thing to test it.

[@donnamariefinney]

Just found your channel I went for ultrasound sound today they noticed nobles and one big one they straight away did needle biopsy it looked like your picture you put up I’m 53 they found this by mistake after haveing a mri scan on my neck to check for trapped nerve as I have pain in arm other wise I would off never knew I’ve now got to wait for results off biopsy so worried do they only do the biopsy if they are suspicious? I thought I was just going for ultra scan and how long did you wait for results thanks hope your feeling better yourself x

Cancer sucks. Mine was in my womb. I wish I'd video documented my journey back in 2016 when it all started. All the best to you

[@leahdelosreyes-aboualfath4210]

I had a thyroid ultrasound. On the impression its written on it i have a TIRADS 5 nodules. I let my Endo doctor to see the results, but she said no worries about it coz its still small. But i dont know if i must not get worried about it. Can you explain what tirads 5 means?

[@wanda01141]

Hi. If u don't mind what was the outcome?

[@lakaishabent9290]

Did my fna yesterday and it’s driving me crazy thank you for making me feel better. Is it easy to have kids after?

[@kabnpaujyaj]

My thyroid tsh was normal but I’m still having thyroid nodule issues do you think there are chances of having nodule cancer?

[@dawnheard1263]

I'm so glad you got thru this, you a brave woman. I have just started my journey ans I'm terrified.

[@ambersemona9676]

Hi sweetie, I have had the needle where they took out fluid out of my nodules, and it did come back benign, but I am worried because I have heard stories on KZbin of people who decided to have it removed anyways even though it was benign and come to find out there was cancer inside of the nodules. have you heard of that and should I be worried and checked on often

[@imeldaperez9917]

Your great because u share your experience about tyroid cancer me I have finish my surgery yesterday sept 8 now I'm home thanks God finish my 3 hours surgery

[@kora.maghreb]

My mother is sick with breast cancer, and I cannot afford the treatment expenses. I was also sick before her with social phobia and depression, and my psychological condition became difficult to the stage of thinking about suicide. I endured my illness for 15 years, but the mother came all my life in the world 😭, because she sacrificed for me from a young age. My father died in 1994, and she did not get married for me, even if she was young. We live in North Africa, with very severe difficulties, with difficult living and high prices. I feel that I am close to madness. I see my mother in front of me and I cannot do anything for her as I did. I hope To find a kind heart ❤ here,to treat my mom

[@maribelruiz3826]

Mapokko,so sorry to hear about your dad passing and your mom being sick, please know suicide is not the answer there's always a solution and help out there ,praying for you and your mom,please take care,blessings to you and your family

[@kristinagodinez6667]

I’m really afraid to hear if it is cancerous or not but i had this cyst since 2014 and still having it and it sucks every time it’s swelling 😢😢😢

[@_lina22]

This is very common with women so if u have thyroid cancer ur not alone cause i had mine removed this year n im feeling much better but yea stay positive 💗

[@unicorn_gaming1236]

I had been screaming for 4yrs about having all the signs for thyroid cancer keep getting told labs are fine and my stomach issues and difficulty swallowing wasnt thyroid when i went from 210 to 165 in less then a month they still wouldn't listen to me sent me to general for exploratory but that surgeon said i could afford to losr that weight so no surgery took pain doc to do mri to find the 3 large masses ultrasound was suspicious did biopsy came bqck with 2 different types sent to genetics i do carry both genes so having mine FINALLY removed on the 24th

[@trishyb_11]

Hi, I am currently going thru this right now. I have a 4 cm nodule on my thyroid. And it has been bothering me with swallowing and breathing. Did you have those symptoms and after surgery did you breathe better?

[@keynadarling]

Bless your heart Kendra. So glad you had it done. I am considering getting a needle aspiration on my goiter.

[@eugenierunner7988]

I have a goiter as well and don’t know how I got it! Do you know what caused yours? I’ m due for a biopsy and ultrasound, going soon, hope it’s not cancer!

[@SimV239]

I have thyroid cysts on my left thyroid gland.. as of now I’m told it’s too small to do anything about.. but I know deep inside, one day I might have to go through a thyroidectomy. All my aunts on my moms side had their thyroids taken out.. and they have a big scar below their neck. Comparing that with yours , you have a smaller scar on the natural fold of your neck, it’s barely visible. is that a choice you or the doctors made to conceal the scar or does the location & size of the nodule determine the location of the incision?
