August 6th I’m having throat surgery to remove the left lobe of my thyroid and all the tumors that live on it. This is a long-awaited surgery, for the past two years I’ve been on various medications and such dealing with this problem, I’ve had two (inconclusive) biopsies, I’ve seen a thousand doctors, and lately I’m unable to talk or sing much past a certain point because the growths are irritating my voice box.
Tomorrow until August 4th I am not going to have access to the Internet except when I visit the public library, so I’d appreciate prayers for the surgery. I know it’s early to talk about it, but that’s why I’m asking now, because after tomorrow until 2 days before my surgery I’m going to be out of state.
Strengthen your servant Cran, O God, to do what he has to do
and bear what he has to bear; that, accepting your healing
gifts through the skill of surgeons and nurses, he may be
restored to usefulness in your world with a thankful heart;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Cranberry,
You know that you’ll be in my prayers. I had my entire thyroid out 5 years ago now. I had a cyst the size of an egg on it, and it interfered with everything (breathing, talking, eating). When they did the ultrasound to make sure it was a cyst, they found a tumour that was about 1/2 cm long. It did turn out to be cancerous, so I had my entire thyroid removed. The healing part wasn’t all that bad…just make sure that you get plenty of rest, ok? Don’t try to do too much too quickly. And, as always, you know that if you have any questions, feel free to pm or email me. Please let us know how you are doing when you are able to.
