Anxiety is killing me.

August 17, 2018 foreverhopeful23Leave a comment

As the hours pass further and further from the biopsy procedure, I know I could get a call at any moment. Knowing that, I have such anxiety I can barely focus on anything else and I feel as though I can vomit. The waiting is awful..

Trying to live in ignorance.

August 16, 2018 foreverhopeful23Leave a comment

Leading up to yesterday’s procedure, I was pretty much convinced I had the worst-case thyroid cancer there is. That’s just the way my mind works.. I would prefer to set myself up for the worst news imaginable, so anything better than that could be such relief. However, you don’t enjoy each moment you have to… Continue reading Trying to live in ignorance.

Had the biopsy done yesterday on the thyroid nodule. She didn’t seem too concerned about it, and reassured me that out of 100 biopsies, they would need to do 95 benign tests before they got 5 malignant. She also didn’t mention if it looked suspicious on the ultrasound or if it had any weird characteristics.… Continue reading Biopsy, done.

Well, I got a call from the nurse this afternoon. She said they received my blood work back and my thyroid levels were normal. They found a nodule on my thyroid and they want to schedule me for a biopsy. I asked if my other thyroid antibody tests came back, and she said they were… Continue reading Nurse called.

Endocrinologist Appointment

So, going through therapy, my counselor suggested that I schedule a drs appointment to check all my hormone levels to be sure everything is in check. Since I have NO idea what pregnancy has done with my hormones, she thought it would be a good idea to rule out anything health-related that could also be… Continue reading Endocrinologist Appointment

PPD Update

July 20, 2018 foreverhopeful23Leave a comment

So, it’s been awhile since I’ve updated on this.. mostly because it’s a work-in-progress and there’s been a lot of soul searching. I think things are slowly improving. A has been sleeping through the night for awhile, so I’ve been able to get more uninterrupted sleep; which I’m sure has helped my overall mood/happiness. Go… Continue reading PPD Update

Therapy #2

April 2, 2018 foreverhopeful232 Comments

Well, I felt as though this session was more productive than the last. We started out discussing how I feel compared to when I first came to her a few weeks ago.
