Maybe it's not a good time to write down my thoughts. It's just a bad morning. Bad week. Bad week. Bad month.
I know if I say anymore I would be placed in the hospital. Been there. Not a good place to be.

Feeling better today. Fortunately for me I work with someone that has the same cancer i do. Kind of weird considering the odds, but he also has a "intermediate" lymph node as well. It does help to see I'm not alone. -

The doctors changed my meds so i'm not quite as tired as I usually am; which is good. However my last neck scan showed two "intermediate" lymph nodes. It kind of has my nerves wrecked. It's hard to stay strong all the time. -

A Cutters Hell
I'm screaming inside and out
I'm just looking for a way out
I stop for a moment to ask myself
why this
how did I end up here
why do I fight these battles
inside and out
day and night
of life or death
love or hate
to drownd in the pain
to feel the blade
to see the blood
the attachment it has all become
my greatest enemy and
my new best friend
I look to see how much of me...1 Recommendation -

How do you leave your 1 year old daughter and go back to Europe and start a new family and never look back? How do you talk about your daughter in America daily and never try to see if she is safe and happy and healthy? I'm trying so hard to understand after all these years how that works for you. Please let me know.1 Recommendation -

Was out Mountain Biking today and being born and bred in suburbia I don't see a lot of wildlife normally. I saw something out of the corner of my eye and saw a Hedge Hog down the trail a bit. I'm a big guy and I'm on a bike so I expect the Hedge Hog and turn and run. That little SOB came right down the trail towards me. So I start thinking are Hedge Hogs vicious like badgers, is it ra...1 Recommendation

Thyroid Cancer Information
Thyroid cancer is cancer of the thyroid gland. There are four forms: papillary, follicular, medullary and anaplastic. The most common forms (papillary and follicular) are fairly benign, and the medullary form also has a good prognosis; the anaplastic form is fast-growing and poorly responsive to therapy.
Masses of the thyroid are diagnosed by fine needle aspiration (FNA) or frequently by thyroidectomy (surgical removal and subsequent pathological examination). As the thyroid concentrates iodine, radioactive iodine is a commonly used modality in thyroid carcinomas.
Thyroid cancers can be classified according to their pathological characteristics. The following variants can be distinguished: Papillary thyroid cancer (75%, incl. mixed papillary/follicular), Follicular thyroid cancer (16%), Medullary thyroid cancer (5%), Anaplastic thyroid cancer (3%), Lymphoma (1%), Squamous cell carcinoma, sarcoma (0.5 - 2%).
Unlike its counterparts, anaplastic thyroid cancer is not curable by surgery, and is in fact usually unresectable due to its high propensity for invading surrounding tissues. Treatment consists of radiation therapy usually combined with chemotherapy.
