You really did great in this video, such a strong & brave person. As your mom, Of course, I was worried, thinking of how young you are to have cancer. But going to that conference, was a huge Blessing🙏 God made it happen for you to be there.
As a person who has gained wisdom in various aspects of the illness and also living with it I think she is trying to be as honest and rational as possible and you are being negative God says lift one another up ❤
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?
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!
Recently diagnosed with Papillary Cancer (3 days ago) 0.5 cm nodule right mid lobe. My anxiety and stress are over the roof. You did say something every important stress could be a factor for this cancer. Waiting on schedule appointment with the specializes to view my case. Thank you for your story.
Thank you for this! I recently had my thyroid removed for the same diagnosis and I also happen to be in healthcare as well! I appreciate you sharing your experience/story. It really does help ease others knowing you’re not alone in the fact that you were diagnosed at such a young age as well!
Thanks for sharing . I have had a right thyroid lobectomy done 5 weeks ago and I've recently been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I have to undergo more surgery to remove the rest of my thyroid and lymph nodes then treatment. It's so comforting to hear other people's stories. Glad you are doing well x
Thanks for this. I’ll be 34 Monday and I started this process in December after noticing a bump in my thyroid. Had ultrasound and biopsy. Now they said the want to remove half my thyroid. Scary thing but you’ve helped me chill out a little.
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.
I am glad you are doing well. My daughter had thyroid cancer a year ago. She now has a nodule on the other side The side they took out had 2 nodules. One was cancer and the other was not. Thank you for sharing.
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. I would also like to share the following six videos with you about salvation and two videos about evolution: Evolution vs. God ruclips.net/video/uc_W9VtzJ0A/видео.html DESTROYING Evolution In Under 3 Minutes ruclips.net/video/sWecPwrQv2c/видео.html Watch the Holy Spirit Work in Her Heart (Very Moving) ruclips.net/video/iBEoI2u6kII/видео.html Fearing The Lord, God’s Discipline & Sharing The Gospel ruclips.net/video/dES5WW66Mro/видео.html A Clear Gospel Presentation by Pastor Steven Anderson - How to go to Heaven ruclips.net/video/IXEeMWCxyrQ/видео.html The Plan of Salvation ruclips.net/video/PmkhRMPvt_0/видео.html How to Get Saved ruclips.net/video/ajWdkuvrT6s/видео.html The Truth About Hell (Selected Scriptures) ruclips.net/video/AVzbh_dLq3s/видео.html Best regards Chris “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.

Thanks so much for your video! Just had my 1st thyroid ultrasound today after my obgyn realized it was enlarged during my annual visit. The tech took A LOT of images and then a video so Im a little worried. Also don't worry about your scar it looks good! 👍👍👍And I have so many, I'll just add it to the list if I have to have it removed. 🤗
I just got my results yesterday. Follicular carcinoma in my thyroid and some nodules at 23 years old. I’m not sure how far it’s gotten just yet. I’m in my first semester of an accelerated nursing program which sucks. There’s so much uncertainty and I don’t know how I should advocate for myself in terms of how long it should be taking for all this. It’s a lot :/ Thank you for sharing!
I got an FNA a.d ut came back as suspicious, and I am gonna remove my whole thyroid, I am so scared and the idea of medication my whole life is killing me
You’re gorgeous. Your scar looked good during this video, but a lot of time had passed and I bet it looks fantastic now. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I haven’t watched the video yet but I actually had thyroid cancer at 17 and now at 20 I have decided to go the PrePA route :) my experience actually made me decide this
@@itsKendraLynne Thank u so much for sharing right now am in the same position has u I have gallbladder surgery to do and now have thyroid nodules now the doctor say I have to do a thyroid surgery glad u recovered well God bless u
Kendra, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I will be having thyroid surgery in five days, and the detail you shared was very helpful and addressed some of my biggest concerns. May God continue to bless and keep you!
@@loving_lioness3518 Surgery went well thankfully! However, I was not prepared for the amount of swelling and time it takes for it to go down. A little over three weeks have passed and a good portion of the swelling is down but not back to normal just yet.
I received my FNA 03-26-21, now it's time for me to wait for my results, thank you for sharing your story, I appreciate knowing more info. May you be in good health going forward
Hey I hope everything went ok so what was your outcome I. Have 1 nodule on my thyroid I also have appt with my endocrinologist in 2 weeks I can stop eating my A1c is elevated I have gain tons of weight lost my hair so feeling exhausted.
Omg, I’m so sorry to hear 😔 I went to the Dr and we did another blood test, and my results came back normal 😳 I was so surprised. He said I probably had a virus or bacteria during the previous blood tests, lowering my TSH. So we never did the noodle test, and I don't take medication now.
... But I'm planning to have an other check up 3 months from now. Best of luck of everything, feel free to update us! I hope everything will be okey for you too!
I just had a sonagram on mine and I can see a lump there on my throat, I am terrified. I haven't slept all weekend. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in Oct due to a super fast heart rate and here we are.
Thank you for sharing. I just had a biopsy on my thyroid. I don’t want to lose it but if I have to I have to. But I’m 63. You are such a brave girl. Thank you for being so open about your thyroid and gall bladder.
I just got diagnosed a month ago and am waiting to get booked for surgery. I have a good EMT surgeon. I’m nervous about it. So I’m glad I came across your video. You are very clear and informative. Thank you so much. I feel better now. I’m only supposed to get half out. I hope it all goes well.
If it makes you feel any better, I literally never noticed the scar in any videos. Like you mentioned, people likely wouldn’t notice unless you pointed it out. I think it’s because your face is so pretty no one is looking at your neck :). Side note: Your channel inspires me so much to become a PA. I am working hard towards becoming a PA-S and your channel has helped me so much in that process. Thank you for sharing your story with us, as well as your life and experience as a PA, and a person is general. ❤️
I had gall bladder conventional surgery when I was 19. I had a Hemithyroidectomy for Thyroid Cancer about 2 months ago on the left lobe of my Thyroid via BABA Robotic Surgery. So I guess I am a similar case as yours ! I've also had an ovarian cyst removed via Laparascopic surgery. Stay strong... it isn't that bad. I agree totally with you- stress is a major killer ! Healing hugs to everyone in the same predicament.
Thank you so much for this! I actually stumbled upon your channel form your day in the life of a PA. As I’m applying for Surgical First Asst. classes. And I rather much enjoyed that so I clicked on this. Small world because I’m 26. And my doctor ordered. NM thyroid scan. I’m a little nervous. I have hashimotos and I believe it’s caused from traume sois amount of stress I had growing up as a kid. Now watching this idk why but I have a strong feeling it will be cancerous (hope not!) but my one fear is having to remove my whole thyroid. But after watching you and how your living your best life I’m less afraid if my scans show some positive cancerous cells. Thank you so much! Definitely subscribed 💜
I appreciate your vulnerability sharing your story. Thank you. I’m currently waiting for the report from my ultrasound. I’m 35 with what I could peek from the techs screen min 4 nodules varying from >1.5cm. It’s (not-so) weird that I’m a therapist I know things from a mh perspective that I’m going to be okay no matter what. I had good support and know how to stay strong but it’s that pit of your stomach uneasy feelings that’s hard to accept. Thank you again for sharing your story!
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!
Very informative and touching story. It’s good to hear it from the patients POV who also happens to be in the medical profession. Since the age of 20, I’ve gotten yearly u/s to monitor several nodules that would come/go, get bigger/smaller, move around, etc. Labs were always clean. Now I’m 40, the past year or 2, my labs are all over the place. My u/s from 6 months back showed my largest nodule was a mixed solid. U/s last month shows a complex nodule. Had biopsy today. Wish me luck.
Reading comments on my RUclips lately has me missing making videos. I love that I could connect with so many people through just one video. All the luck in the world to you, beautiful! You got this!
Glad that you are okay, ur story is much like main.. I’m a doctor assistant and I’m 26Y and last week I asked my doctor to check my thyroid because we have a family history .. she said there is a mass and I need to go for ultrasound, we found a tumor 2.3 cm and next week I will go for biopsy.. I’m scared and nervous I wish it’s not cancer .
I believe in what your saying about stress causing illness , at the beginning of 2020 I started to become really stressed & 3 months later became I'll I'm still currently undergoing test to find out what's wrong with me
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.
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.
Thank you for your video! My thyroid nodule has been affecting my swallowing and it is very uncomfortable. I've also been struggling with anemia, breathing, and unexplained weight loss. Waiting to hear more about what the next step is. Goodluck everyone!
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
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
Thanks so much for sharing your journey. My mom was just diagnosed and I’ve been spiraling a bit just trying to get as much information as possible and this was so helpful. Thanks for the reassurance
Thank you for the video. I few days ago I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I am anxious, I am only 22 my parents are in a different country and well I just can’t believe it. Thank you for sharing your experience it help me understand the situation a little bit better
I'm 83 I had a total thyroidectomy a few weeks ago, I was out of hospital after 2 days my voice hasn't altered much just a bit croaky for a few days, my surgeon was very good, it took 3 hours,
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!
Time for my yearly testing once again- large node on left- multiple on the right- so far " cold" , so far not increasing in size but this year I will have a FNA- scary because my son is now showing some symptoms also- coincidence? Surely Hope So!
Yes, thanks for sharing. I will also be going in for FNA of 2 nodules. Luckily the third was not concerning. You under and over a certain age is usually cancer, had no idea.
Thank you. Going tomorrow to have a lump checked on the right side of my thyroid. I’ve been hypothyroid for 40 years, noticed a lump, and it hurts. I’m pretty sure something is going on because I do Keto, and my weight loss for the entire month of November has been only 2 lbs. Plus, I know pain isn’t normal. I’d love to have my FNA with Versad as I’m super nervous anyway (bipolar 2), with GAD. UGH.
My goodness you're such a brave, eloquent, beautiful person Kendra. And thank you for mentioning your adhesive allergy. I have a 3cm thyroid nodule (not cancer ous )...surgery has been advised. You have inspired me to buckle down and keep a strong, informed attitude. Thank you honey. (I'm female). 👍🌱💗
If you don't mind me asking what is your dosage that you have been consistent with. I am 7 days post thyroidectomy, and honestly only trying to stay positive. Glad you're doing great!😀🧡
Thank you so much because I just did my surgery with the same thyroid cancer that you did have and they may of to open me again to remove the other thyroid so I'm so happy you share this info with us
One day I had dinner and it felt like something was stuck in my throat. After a few days I couldn't stand it, they kept me in the hospital for 13 hours. And they said there was something on the throat, but it's been a long time. They prescribed me an antibiotic for reflux. Seemingly, it is a pharyngeal reflux with inflammation I have been taking an antibiotic for a long time and I do not see much improvement. I still have trouble swallowing food. It is massacre and bothersome. Thank you for your story what you told us. I greet you
I have chronic Pharyngitis in my throat for the last 1 month, I am taking all the medicines. Infact, I didn't have any problems before taking medicines, no coughing, no pain nothing just that it felt something is stuck in my throat whenever I used to swallow my saliva. Swallowing food and water was not an Issue at all, only swallowing saliva created problems. . I met the doctor and it was pharyngitis, he gave me medicines. I took meds for only 2 days and it started itching and hurting a lot(it didn't hurt even a bit earlier), after that I went to my doctor frequently. Even my neck got swollen up. He asked me for a blood test. It was found that my Eosinophils was 11%, it should be under 6% He gave me more medicines for 1 month more. It has been 25 days now since I've been taking the medicines to lower my Eosinophils. Let's see what happens. . Update : My Pharyngitis and swalloness are not going away, My throat burns and My neck hurts(most probably it's the thyroid that hurts). Please help. I am scared it might be a cancer. But I don't drink, smoke eat meat, anything.
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 💗
I’m so happy you’re doing well. Did you by any chance have any symptoms you hadn’t realized were happening until after you found out? Thank you for sharing ❤
I’m 5 months pregnant and just confirmed with a second ultrasound that I have a TR5 nodule over 1.5 cm on my left side. I hope to have the FNA soon. The thought of having to have thyroid surgery right after having my baby stresses me out. Im hoping the FNA is negative but I’ve had cervical cancer already and I just have a feeling this will be the same. Sigh.
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.
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.
You are strong. Just found out today my tsh3 is low 0.362 but my ft4 n ft3 is normal . This kind of thing has something to do with the heart ❤️ and I am 64. I hoped to be as strong and positive as you are.
Thanks so much for sharing your story. I go Wed for an ultrasound. Kinda nervous. I have hashimoto's. Side note, your lashes look amazing! What mascara do you use?
Hi Kendra. Thks for the video and knowledge. I had my FNA. It was atypical and suspicious. They could not say if cells were cancerous. Waiting on a molecular test to determine. Did you have the molecular testing done?..thks jc
So happy you are now cancer free🙏🏽I have Hashimoto/hypo I have always showed nodules in xrays... my docs say it’s normal size not concerning...is cancer ones usually really huge?
Great work. Seems you’re doing good! I just diagnosed with Bethesda stage 3 and did the fna 2 times on the nodule 3.8cm. They took my biopsy to do a molecular test and it turn out to be benign. I am worried and concerned about going to surgery. I seen a surgeon and her recommendation is to do a full thyroid removal. Because I have nodules on both sides.
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. I just wanted you to know how helpful you are for those that hits so close to home. All the best to you!,
I have a nodule on my thyroid I got a biopsy. Waiting on the results. My symptoms are constant sore throat, sore neck at the front, ear pain, tiredness, weight gain, depression, brain fog.
Thank you for posting this. I am literally going through this. I had severe pain in the back of my neck and head so I went to the ER. I have lupus so the doctor wanted to check if my blood vessels were not damaged. They weren't however he said I have multiple sizeable nodules on my thyroid. 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. But I am so happy that you are on the mend and you caught it in time.
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
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
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!
I have chronic Pharyngitis in my throat for the last 40-50 days, I am taking all the medicines. Infact, I didn't have any problems before taking the medicines, no coughing, no pain nothing just that it felt something is stuck in my throat whenever I used to swallow my saliva. Swallowing food and water was not an Issue at all, only swallowing saliva created problems. . I met the doctor and it was pharyngitis, he gave me medicines. I took meds for only 2 days and it started itching and hurting a lot(it didn't hurt even a bit earlier), I had chest pain, frequent blisters in my mouth, My entire oesophagus(the hollow tube that connects mouth and stomach) started burning, My right ear went 50% silent, my right eyes started twitching. Believe me if I had taken the medicine for the 3rd day I would have fallen sick. I stopped taking meds and after that I went to my doctor. He wrote some pain removers and asked to continue the medicines. Now while taking the pain tablets, it didn't hurt as earlier but it still hurted, 5 days later my neck got swollen up. I again went to the doctor for the 3rd time. He asked me for a blood test. It was found that my Eosinophils was 11%, it should be under 6% He gave me more medicines for 1 month more. It has been 25 days now since I've been taking the medicines to lower my Eosinophils. Let's see what happens. . Update : My Pharyngitis and swalloness are not going away. Please help. I am scared it might be a cancer. But I don't drink, smoke eat meat, anything. I'm going to an ENT in 2 days time, I'll ask him for Endoscopy and Ultrasound both even if he says no you're fine.
I also had my total thyroidectomy 2 weeks ago and I will be having my RAI hopefully next month. Thanks for sharing your story. I hope I can also surpass this. God bless
Hello from Lenoir, NC. Oct 3 is my thyroidectomy. My right lobe has a nodule over 5cm/3cm/4cm, suspicious of malignancy. Left lobe has three 1cm nodules. Doc and I agreed to have whole thyroid removed and let pathology have their fun with it afterwards (in addition to determining potential cancer). Am 51.
@@Pallabpiyali hi dear.. I had my surgery on 27th...went off very well... Will have some difficulty for 3-4 days,after that u will feel much better.take rest and drink plenty of water. Now I am on iodine diet..and awaiting the Histopathology report ( then will decide on iodine scan following therapy ) My voice is also getting better and hopefully will become normal in another 5-6 days.
My scar was red for over 8yrs...also you are sounding like you have a cold and a bit breathless...I have hyper saliva now and constant cold and sore throat..I have a runny nose that all ent say they don’t know why..pain never goes either and swallowing difficulty and ear pain.. I feel also I have to remind myself to breath properly...think a nerve was damaged as no draining in upper pharynx and collects in lower windpipe.. Take care my dearest..💐
You are a very strong woman and many blessings to you,your husband and your families. I have to make a appointment with a pathologist for 2 nodules that have grown so I'm nervous about the needle aspiration biopsy especially to be awake while it's being done which I have a big fear of needles.
My process is moving SO SLOWLY. First nodule seen on MRI for neck surgery (results 6/29). Second & third nodules seen on ultrasound 7/12. I finally saw the ENT yesterday (7/25), and have to wait for FNA biopsy on 8/1! Then, the follow-up appt is 8/8. It is taking FOREVER compared to yours. So stressful. My right lobe is 3x the sz of the left, and one of the nodules is bigger than my whole left lobe. It is solid, no halo. Longer, than wide.
I felt a lump on the right side my neck by accident, so I had Ultrasound done. My GP contacted me for an urgent appointment and told me I might have thyroid cancer. It still hard to believe this is happening. I'm going to do a biopsy soon. Thank you for your video. It gives me some strength to face what's coming.
@@nasteha874 it was papillary thyroid cancer. I have had a total thyroidectomy and still waiting for RAI treatment but I'm doing really well. It's pretty much life as usual 😊💪
I'm 54 & in the middle of chemo for stage 1 breast cancer & my gyn! decided I needed thyroid ultrasound & now biopsy. I also had regular normal blood work with a sister what thyroid cancer & another w hypothyroid....never did any doctor ever physically check my thyroid during exams!. Don't know yet if it's thyroid cancer because I have to wait for the right timing for biopsy because of current chemo. I did have alot of stress in the year before with both job & breast cancer. So, yeah, stress WILL make you sick. 😬
Thanks for this video. I am a RN and I noticed a lump in my LT thyroid and had my Dr evaluate. He recommended me to see my PCP as much I hesitated I knew something was wrong. My PCP ordered an US and sure enough it was 4cm Solid nodule inferior pole and mid pole. My blood test came back normal and they ordered an FNA and molecular testing. Now it’s the waiting game 😞.
You really did great in this video, such a strong & brave person. As your mom, Of course, I was worried, thinking of how young you are to have cancer. But going to that conference, was a huge Blessing🙏 God made it happen for you to be there.
I can't stand it when someone says "its not not a serious cancer" and " it's the best cancer to have", as no cancer is fun or easy.
Seriously I also agree
Agree a lot doctors say this. Some thyroid cancers you can still die from.
I agree any cancer is serious.
As a person who has gained wisdom in various aspects of the illness and also living with it I think she is trying to be as honest and rational as possible and you are being negative God says lift one another up ❤
@@dntcrwtuthnk .... It's a generalised comment, don't read something into it that isn't there.
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?
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 don’t go on here much to reply to comments anymore, but thank you for sharing your story!! ❤️
Thank you for the story. I just had my surgery 6 days ago and I’m not sure about my future because I’m just 23. Your story is very assuring.
Recently diagnosed with Papillary Cancer (3 days ago) 0.5 cm nodule right mid lobe. My anxiety and stress are over the roof. You did say something every important stress could be a factor for this cancer. Waiting on schedule appointment with the specializes to view my case. Thank you for your story.
Can I ask if the doctor recommended partial or total thyroid removal?
That is so tough! Cancer sounds so scary but I’m so glad you got through it safe and sound!
Thank you! I really appreciate it!

Thank you for this! I recently had my thyroid removed for the same diagnosis and I also happen to be in healthcare as well! I appreciate you sharing your experience/story. It really does help ease others knowing you’re not alone in the fact that you were diagnosed at such a young age as well!
Thanks love!! 💓

Thanks for sharing . I have had a right thyroid lobectomy done 5 weeks ago and I've recently been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I have to undergo more surgery to remove the rest of my thyroid and lymph nodes then treatment. It's so comforting to hear other people's stories. Glad you are doing well x
How did surgery go for you?
I wish you all the luck in the world. 💗🥰
How long was it in between surgeries?
Thanks for this. I’ll be 34 Monday and I started this process in December after noticing a bump in my thyroid. Had ultrasound and biopsy. Now they said the want to remove half my thyroid. Scary thing but you’ve helped me chill out a little.
ruclips.net/video/ZOX2eg1nfAs/видео.html
Chill, you are lucky to have one left and it is not a painful procedure. I was scared of it but I have no pain whatsoever. All the best
Why u removed ur thyroid
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.
Wholeheartedly agree!!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am very grateful that I found your channel. I hope you will be healthy and completely cancer-free.
Thank you so much!!
I am glad you are doing well. My daughter had thyroid cancer a year ago. She now has a nodule on the other side The side they took out had 2 nodules. One was cancer and the other was not. Thank you for sharing.

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.
I would also like to share the following six videos with you about salvation and two videos about evolution:

Thanks so much for your video! Just had my 1st thyroid ultrasound today after my obgyn realized it was enlarged during my annual visit. The tech took A LOT of images and then a video so Im a little worried. Also don't worry about your scar it looks good! 👍👍👍And I have so many, I'll just add it to the list if I have to have it removed. 🤗
I just got my results yesterday. Follicular carcinoma in my thyroid and some nodules at 23 years old. I’m not sure how far it’s gotten just yet. I’m in my first semester of an accelerated nursing program which sucks. There’s so much uncertainty and I don’t know how I should advocate for myself in terms of how long it should be taking for all this. It’s a lot :/ Thank you for sharing!
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’m waiting to hear back for mine. I hope they can treat it without too much disruption.
I got an FNA a.d ut came back as suspicious, and I am gonna remove my whole thyroid, I am so scared and the idea of medication my whole life is killing me
You’re gorgeous. Your scar looked good during this video, but a lot of time had passed and I bet it looks fantastic now. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I haven’t watched the video yet but I actually had thyroid cancer at 17 and now at 20 I have decided to go the PrePA route :) my experience actually made me decide this
Yess!! So awesome to hear that :) And so happy for you to be cancer free as well!
Symptoms?

@@itsKendraLynne Thank u so much for sharing right now am in the same position has u I have gallbladder surgery to do and now have thyroid nodules now the doctor say I have to do a thyroid surgery glad u recovered well God bless u
Kendra, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I will be having thyroid surgery in five days, and the detail you shared was very helpful and addressed some of my biggest concerns. May God continue to bless and keep you!
How did your surgery go? I'm waiting for my fna but am assuming mine will need removed
@@loving_lioness3518 Surgery went well thankfully! However, I was not prepared for the amount of swelling and time it takes for it to go down. A little over three weeks have passed and a good portion of the swelling is down but not back to normal just yet.
I received my FNA 03-26-21, now it's time for me to wait for my results, thank you for sharing your story, I appreciate knowing more info. May you be in good health going forward
I'm going to the endocrinologist next week. I have 3 nodules, It's scary! Thank you for sharing your story! ❤️
Hey I hope everything went ok so what was your outcome I. Have 1 nodule on my thyroid I also have appt with my endocrinologist in 2 weeks I can stop eating my A1c is elevated I have gain tons of weight lost my hair so feeling exhausted.
Omg, I’m so sorry to hear 😔 I went to the Dr and we did another blood test, and my results came back normal 😳 I was so surprised. He said I probably had a virus or bacteria during the previous blood tests, lowering my TSH. So we never did the noodle test, and I don't take medication now.
... But I'm planning to have an other check up 3 months from now. Best of luck of everything, feel free to update us! I hope everything will be okey for you too!
I just had a sonagram on mine and I can see a lump there on my throat, I am terrified. I haven't slept all weekend. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in Oct due to a super fast heart rate and here we are.
I'm so sorry 💔 I’ll pray for you 🙏🏼 When I was going through it, I kept telling myself it's better to know than not know.
Thank you for sharing. I just had a biopsy on my thyroid. I don’t want to lose it but if I have to I have to. But I’m 63. You are such a brave girl. Thank you for being so open about your thyroid and gall bladder.
I just got diagnosed a month ago and am waiting to get booked for surgery. I have a good EMT surgeon. I’m nervous about it. So I’m glad I came across your video. You are very clear and informative. Thank you so much. I feel better now. I’m only supposed to get half out. I hope it all goes well.
I hope all goes well!
If it makes you feel any better, I literally never noticed the scar in any videos. Like you mentioned, people likely wouldn’t notice unless you pointed it out. I think it’s because your face is so pretty no one is looking at your neck :).
Side note: Your channel inspires me so much to become a PA. I am working hard towards becoming a PA-S and your channel has helped me so much in that process.
Thank you for sharing your story with us, as well as your life and experience as a PA, and a person is general. ❤️
Awww thank you so much this is so sweet! and thank you for watching ❤️
She's so cute, isn't she. Reminds me of my niece when she smiles, brightens up the room type. Their positive personalities shine
I had gall bladder conventional surgery when I was 19. I had a Hemithyroidectomy for Thyroid Cancer about 2 months ago on the left lobe of my Thyroid via BABA Robotic Surgery. So I guess I am a similar case as yours ! I've also had an ovarian cyst removed via Laparascopic surgery. Stay strong... it isn't that bad. I agree totally with you- stress is a major killer ! Healing hugs to everyone in the same predicament.
Thank you so much for this! I actually stumbled upon your channel form your day in the life of a PA. As I’m applying for Surgical First Asst. classes. And I rather much enjoyed that so I clicked on this. Small world because I’m 26. And my doctor ordered. NM thyroid scan. I’m a little nervous. I have hashimotos and I believe it’s caused from traume sois amount of stress I had growing up as a kid. Now watching this idk why but I have a strong feeling it will be cancerous (hope not!) but my one fear is having to remove my whole thyroid. But after watching you and how your living your best life I’m less afraid if my scans show some positive cancerous cells. Thank you so much! Definitely subscribed 💜
Youre awesome! So happy to hear you overcame everything and your scar looks cool actually 😄
Oh my goodness. So glad you are okay
Thanks so much!!!
THANK YOU! You posted what is real for those of us with thyroid issues. Highly informative. Are you doing good now?
Im so sorry you went through all this. Thank you fo being so vulnerable. I am also a cancer survivor I had lymphoma and my dream is to become a PA
Your scar is not even noticeable. It's amazing. You also have your voice so that's great
A nodule at any age does not always mean cancer. In fact, 95% of thyroid nodules are benign. Don’t scare people like that.
I appreciate your vulnerability sharing your story. Thank you. I’m currently waiting for the report from my ultrasound. I’m 35 with what I could peek from the techs screen min 4 nodules varying from >1.5cm. It’s (not-so) weird that I’m a therapist I know things from a mh perspective that I’m going to be okay no matter what. I had good support and know how to stay strong but it’s that pit of your stomach uneasy feelings that’s hard to accept. Thank you again for sharing your story!
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!
Very informative and touching story. It’s good to hear it from the patients POV who also happens to be in the medical profession. Since the age of 20, I’ve gotten yearly u/s to monitor several nodules that would come/go, get bigger/smaller, move around, etc. Labs were always clean.
Now I’m 40, the past year or 2, my labs are all over the place. My u/s from 6 months back showed my largest nodule was a mixed solid. U/s last month shows a complex nodule. Had biopsy today. Wish me luck.
Reading comments on my RUclips lately has me missing making videos. I love that I could connect with so many people through just one video. All the luck in the world to you, beautiful! You got this!
Glad that you are okay, ur story is much like main.. I’m a doctor assistant and I’m 26Y and last week I asked my doctor to check my thyroid because we have a family history .. she said there is a mass and I need to go for ultrasound, we found a tumor 2.3 cm and next week I will go for biopsy.. I’m scared and nervous I wish it’s not cancer .
How are you doing? I have three nodules around the same size.
*I am glad you are doing well after your surgery.*
I believe in what your saying about stress causing illness , at the beginning of 2020 I started to become really stressed & 3 months later became I'll I'm still currently undergoing test to find out what's wrong with me
I’m sorry about your experience having these issues. Thinking back, did you have any symptoms or effects now looking back ?
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.
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.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate you!!
Thank you for your video! My thyroid nodule has been affecting my swallowing and it is very uncomfortable. I've also been struggling with anemia, breathing, and unexplained weight loss. Waiting to hear more about what the next step is. Goodluck everyone!
Thank you for sharing. You’re stronger than you know. May God continue blessing you 🙏🏼💞
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
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
Thanks so much for sharing your journey. My mom was just diagnosed and I’ve been spiraling a bit just trying to get as much information as possible and this was so helpful. Thanks for the reassurance
Thank you for the video. I few days ago I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I am anxious, I am only 22 my parents are in a different country and well I just can’t believe it. Thank you for sharing your experience it help me understand the situation a little bit better
What are your symptoms brother?
@lordeconas I don’t experience any symptoms they figured it out only because I was doing a regular check up

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!
Thank you Kendra -- I'm going in for my FNA and your video helped calm my fears!
I'm going in 3d...
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm in the process, just found out I have 2 nodules and will be having a FNA. 🙌🙏
Time for my yearly testing once again- large node on left- multiple on the right- so far " cold" , so far not increasing in size but this year I will have a FNA- scary because my son is now showing some symptoms also- coincidence? Surely Hope So!
Yes, thanks for sharing. I will also be going in for FNA of 2 nodules. Luckily the third was not concerning. You under and over a certain age is usually cancer, had no idea.
Thank you. Going tomorrow to have a lump checked on the right side of my thyroid. I’ve been hypothyroid for 40 years, noticed a lump, and it hurts. I’m pretty sure something is going on because I do Keto, and my weight loss for the entire month of November has been only 2 lbs. Plus, I know pain isn’t normal. I’d love to have my FNA with Versad as I’m super nervous anyway (bipolar 2), with GAD. UGH.

Thank you so much!! And so happy to hear that. You got this ❤️
Love your channel so much Kendra! You inspired me to become a PA as well, keep up the wonderful work. You're amazing! 💕🦋

Currently just found out 1 nodule is goofball size and the other is grape size. I'm nervous. Always felt like something was in my throat 😢
If you don't mind me asking what is your dosage that you have been consistent with. I am 7 days post thyroidectomy, and honestly only trying to stay positive. Glad you're doing great!😀🧡
I have the same issue and would like to know dosage of medication because when I take my pills I out

Thank you so much because I just did my surgery with the same thyroid cancer that you did have and they may of to open me again to remove the other thyroid so I'm so happy you share this info with us
Have you done the second surgery?
ruclips.net/video/F5zT4DATYcw/видео.html
Thanks for sharing your story. This is very comforting after finding out I also have to get my thyroid removed bc of a cancerous nodule. 🙏🏼
One day I had dinner and it felt like something was stuck in my throat. After a few days I couldn't stand it, they kept me in the hospital for 13 hours. And they said there was something on the throat, but it's been a long time. They prescribed me an antibiotic for reflux. Seemingly, it is a pharyngeal reflux with inflammation I have been taking an antibiotic for a long time and I do not see much improvement. I still have trouble swallowing food. It is massacre and bothersome. Thank you for your story what you told us. I greet you
I have chronic Pharyngitis in my throat for the last 1 month, I am taking all the medicines.
Infact, I didn't have any problems before taking medicines, no coughing, no pain nothing just that it felt something is stuck in my throat whenever I used to swallow my saliva. Swallowing food and water was not an Issue at all, only swallowing saliva created problems.
.
I met the doctor and it was pharyngitis, he gave me medicines. I took meds for only 2 days and it started itching and hurting a lot(it didn't hurt even a bit earlier), after that I went to my doctor frequently. Even my neck got swollen up. He asked me for a blood test. It was found that my Eosinophils was 11%, it should be under 6%
He gave me more medicines for 1 month more. It has been 25 days now since I've been taking the medicines to lower my Eosinophils. Let's see what happens.
.
Update :
My Pharyngitis and swalloness are not going away, My throat burns and My neck hurts(most probably it's the thyroid that hurts). Please help. I am scared it might be a cancer. But I don't drink, smoke eat meat, anything.
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 💗
I’m so happy you’re doing well. Did you by any chance have any symptoms you hadn’t realized were happening until after you found out? Thank you for sharing ❤
That flower painting is amazing
oh my gosh i’m so glad you’re okay
I’m 5 months pregnant and just confirmed with a second ultrasound that I have a TR5 nodule over 1.5 cm on my left side. I hope to have the FNA soon. The thought of having to have thyroid surgery right after having my baby stresses me out. Im hoping the FNA is negative but I’ve had cervical cancer already and I just have a feeling this will be the same. Sigh.
ruclips.net/video/F5zT4DATYcw/видео.html
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.
I have alot of nodules also. I'm scared
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.
You are strong. Just found out today my tsh3 is low 0.362 but my ft4 n ft3 is normal . This kind of thing has something to do with the heart ❤️ and I am 64. I hoped to be as strong and positive as you are.

Thanks so much for sharing your story. I go Wed for an ultrasound. Kinda nervous. I have hashimoto's. Side note, your lashes look amazing! What mascara do you use?
Hi Kendra. Thks for the video and knowledge. I had my FNA. It was atypical and suspicious. They could not say if cells were cancerous. Waiting on a molecular test to determine. Did you have the molecular testing done?..thks jc
So happy you are now cancer free🙏🏽I have Hashimoto/hypo I have always showed nodules in xrays... my docs say it’s normal size not concerning...is cancer ones usually really huge?
No it is not. Im pregnant and have one nodule that is 1.3cm and biopsy showed that it is thyroid cancer but nothing bad and serouse.

Great work. Seems you’re doing good! I just diagnosed with Bethesda stage 3 and did the fna 2 times on the nodule 3.8cm. They took my biopsy to do a molecular test and it turn out to be benign. I am worried and concerned about going to surgery. I seen a surgeon and her recommendation is to do a full thyroid removal. Because I have nodules on both sides.
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. I just wanted you to know how helpful you are for those that hits so close to home. All the best to you!,
I have a nodule on my thyroid I got a biopsy. Waiting on the results. My symptoms are constant sore throat, sore neck at the front, ear pain, tiredness, weight gain, depression, brain fog.

You’re video helped me so much, thank you!
the nausea after the thyroid surgery is so REAL. I was white has a ghost.
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I am going to get an ultrasound to get a diagnosis. This is very helpful to hear your story! ❤
Thank you for posting this. I am literally going through this. I had severe pain in the back of my neck and head so I went to the ER. I have lupus so the doctor wanted to check if my blood vessels were not damaged. They weren't however he said I have multiple sizeable nodules on my thyroid. 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. But I am so happy that you are on the mend and you caught it in time.
How are you doing now What did you do
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm still waiting for my blood work results.
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
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
So strong you are to reveal these things and be brave
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!
Thank you for sharing your story. You are very brave! Did you stay at the hospital after thyroid surgery ? Or did you go straight home?
Thank you, for being so helpful.
I have chronic Pharyngitis in my throat for the last 40-50 days, I am taking all the medicines.
Infact, I didn't have any problems before taking the medicines, no coughing, no pain nothing just that it felt something is stuck in my throat whenever I used to swallow my saliva. Swallowing food and water was not an Issue at all, only swallowing saliva created problems.
.
I met the doctor and it was pharyngitis, he gave me medicines. I took meds for only 2 days and it started itching and hurting a lot(it didn't hurt even a bit earlier), I had chest pain, frequent blisters in my mouth, My entire oesophagus(the hollow tube that connects mouth and stomach) started burning, My right ear went 50% silent, my right eyes started twitching. Believe me if I had taken the medicine for the 3rd day I would have fallen sick. I stopped taking meds and after that I went to my doctor. He wrote some pain removers and asked to continue the medicines. Now while taking the pain tablets, it didn't hurt as earlier but it still hurted, 5 days later my neck got swollen up. I again went to the doctor for the 3rd time. He asked me for a blood test. It was found that my Eosinophils was 11%, it should be under 6%
He gave me more medicines for 1 month more. It has been 25 days now since I've been taking the medicines to lower my Eosinophils. Let's see what happens.
.
Update :
My Pharyngitis and swalloness are not going away. Please help. I am scared it might be a cancer. But I don't drink, smoke eat meat, anything. I'm going to an ENT in 2 days time, I'll ask him for Endoscopy and Ultrasound both even if he says no you're fine.

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 😢😢😢
Hello from Lenoir, NC. Oct 3 is my thyroidectomy. My right lobe has a nodule over 5cm/3cm/4cm, suspicious of malignancy. Left lobe has three 1cm nodules. Doc and I agreed to have whole thyroid removed and let pathology have their fun with it afterwards (in addition to determining potential cancer). Am 51.
Now you done surgery?
@@barorana9864 October 3rd, two more weeks. I'm actually looking forward to it because of the symptoms i'm having and i want them gone!
I am also a Physician Assistant from India...
Diagnosed to have Papillary thyroid carcinoma..
Waiting for surgery ✌🏻

@@Pallabpiyali hi dear.. I had my surgery on 27th...went off very well...
Will have some difficulty for 3-4 days,after that u will feel much better.take rest and drink plenty of water.
Now I am on iodine diet..and awaiting the Histopathology report ( then will decide on iodine scan following therapy )
My voice is also getting better and hopefully will become normal in another 5-6 days.
Don't worry...it has got good prognosis...compared to any other cancer..
Stay strong and be positive
Sending good vibes 🤗✌🏻
@adithya soman: which hospital you had the surgery. can u pls tell me good hospitals in india where you can have the thyroid surgery
@@gauritulsiani9144 i did the surgery at Aster Medcity, Kerala
Sry for the late reply
My scar was red for over 8yrs...also you are sounding like you have a cold and a bit breathless...I have hyper saliva now and constant cold and sore throat..I have a runny nose that all ent say they don’t know why..pain never goes either and swallowing difficulty and ear pain..
I feel also I have to remind myself to breath properly...think a nerve was damaged as no draining in upper pharynx and collects in lower windpipe..
Take care my dearest..💐
You are a very strong woman and many blessings to you,your husband and your families. I have to make a appointment with a pathologist for 2 nodules that have grown so I'm nervous about the needle aspiration biopsy especially to be awake while it's being done which I have a big fear of needles.
Thank you for doing this video, it helped me understand better of what to expect!
I'm so glad you got thru this, you a brave woman. I have just started my journey ans I'm terrified.
I am glad you are okay, sending my love and prayers, God Bless, Amen!!
Thanks so much!!
My process is moving SO SLOWLY. First nodule seen on MRI for neck surgery (results 6/29). Second & third nodules seen on ultrasound 7/12. I finally saw the ENT yesterday (7/25), and have to wait for FNA biopsy on 8/1! Then, the follow-up appt is 8/8. It is taking FOREVER compared to yours. So stressful. My right lobe is 3x the sz of the left, and one of the nodules is bigger than my whole left lobe. It is solid, no halo. Longer, than wide.
I felt a lump on the right side my neck by accident, so I had Ultrasound done. My GP contacted me for an urgent appointment and told me I might have thyroid cancer. It still hard to believe this is happening. I'm going to do a biopsy soon. Thank you for your video. It gives me some strength to face what's coming.
How did it go? If you don’t mind 😊
@@nasteha874 it was papillary thyroid cancer. I have had a total thyroidectomy and still waiting for RAI treatment but I'm doing really well. It's pretty much life as usual 😊💪

@@wxj8658 I have to have a biopsy done soon. Hope all is going well with you.
I'm 54 & in the middle of chemo for stage 1 breast cancer & my gyn! decided I needed thyroid ultrasound & now biopsy. I also had regular normal blood work with a sister what thyroid cancer & another w hypothyroid....never did any doctor ever physically check my thyroid during exams!.
Don't know yet if it's thyroid cancer because I have to wait for the right timing for biopsy because of current chemo. I did have alot of stress in the year before with both job & breast cancer. So, yeah, stress WILL make you sick. 😬
Thank you so much for the information you gave. I am at present waiting for tests to be done to check for Thyroid Cancer . X

Thanks for this video. I am a RN and I noticed a lump in my LT thyroid and had my Dr evaluate. He recommended me to see my PCP as much I hesitated I knew something was wrong. My PCP ordered an US and sure enough it was 4cm Solid nodule inferior pole and mid pole. My blood test came back normal and they ordered an FNA and molecular testing. Now it’s the waiting game 😞.
