M4C has proven itself a special place, everything from a thorough education on ARs and terminal ballistics to Politics and opposing views.
In my time as a member here the threads started requesting prayers for loved ones and others have touched my heart, warmed my soul and gotten me active in prayers for others.
There are many many more examples of this that I’m sure I’m over looking.
If I may ask I would like a sticky of these threads for posterity. Something for the world to easily find in a time of need.
Please add a link to any such threads here.
My wife was diagnosed with thyroid cancer today. I have always prayed for those affected by illness such as this I’ve never been on the other side, I am now and it shakes your very foundation.
I do not know how serious this is and I’m not much on details, but the doctors say everything will be fine. They will remove the thyroids and it will be gone.
To say she is my rock would be an understatement. She handles everything from groceries to Quickbooks. I have duplicates of all my carry guns because she wanted one too. A hunter, fisherwoman, good shooter, heckuva cook and my best friend.
Take heart Ryan, this is one of the easiest types of cancer to overcome. My father had it at 65, after the thyroid was removed and single radioactive pill was taken he hasn’t had a single issue since. And again this outcome is rather common.
Chances are she’ll be just fine, especially with your help and support. Good luck and God bless.
You’re welcome of course. I should have clarified that my father is now 72 by the way and no recurrences of any sort, although he does feel that losing his thyroid has taken some of his energy levels down.
Obviously hers could be a bit further along or otherwise different in some way, but chances are at least that if you caught it in time she will come through essentially unscathed.
If caught early, it’s one of the few cancers with 100% cure rates.Even if not caught early, can usually be treated with very high cure rates. She will be on thyroid replacement for life, which does present its own challenges to be sure, but life (generally) goes on.
