My Son In Law's Thyroid Surgery

[Guest guest]

's thyroid was removed on Monday, December 22nd, at Brazosport Memorial Hospital, by a Dr. . Don't know who all was in the operating room besides him. Everything went well, so far. The growth in his neck, which was the left side growth, ended up being the size of a softball. Not a baseball, but a softball. He has a very radical cut, but this doesn't take care of the c-spind part at all, or other areas. The tissue is being examined to see if there are other forms of thyroid cancer in there, but, of course, the thyroid is always examined afterward no matter what. How he didn't know that there was something in his neck around a couple of yrs ago, I'll never understand. This will be followed by RAI, in many weeks, along with many other things, which may also include chemo. What M.D. did NOT say-----that in the scan they did on him, tthere is metastices to bone, and literally in the skull bone. Nothing is supposedly showing in the brain, but we'll see. This is a half-egg sized one literally in the skull bone. My daughter's info is sometimes sketchy and delayed, probably being as she's on "automatic pilot" with all of this. At least she got a leave of absence from work, so that she can cope somewhat with all of it. I know that she is under tremendous stress.

Thank you for all of your prayers and support, folks, and I'm not too shy to ask for continued prayer for mine.
