13 Years Since I had My Thyroid Removed
It has been weighing heavily on my mind this year, but 13 years ago today, I had my thyroid removed, thanks to me having MEN2A and medullary thyroid cancer due to that.
It has been weighing heavily on my mind this year, but 13 years ago today, I had my thyroid removed, thanks to me having MEN2A and medullary thyroid cancer due to that.
It was discovered that I have medullary thyroid cancer and that I have the RET mutation that causes MEN2a. Many in my family have it. Luckily, I had no pheochromocytoma, but I did have thyroid cancer. Recovery from the thyroidectomy has been fine.
