Health And Weight Update
The news in brief – Still no all-clear on the thyroid cancer but surgery to remove a cataract appears to have been successful and I continue to lose weight which has resulted in my blood pressure returning to normal. The news in detail – My life continues to be a roller coaster ride with the latest downer being the results of my one year follow up scan for thyroid cancer. They have referred me for a CT scan on my facial bones and neck.

My Thyroid Operation
I have had my thyroid operation. They took half and now I have to wait for them to tell me if they will have to take the other half. This entry includes the facts as well as some ranting here and there about the way the medical professions treat us.

Pre-Admittance
My surgery date has been set and I have had my pre-admittance appointment.
