As far as I knew, I was a perfectly healthy 33-year-old...I was someone who only went to the doctor when it was absolutely necessary. At the very end of my vaccination appointment, the doctor casually did a checkup, touched my neck, and said, 'Did you know you have a lump on your neck?'
I had never thought about thyroid cancer as a possibility... just after my 34th birthday, about four days before I was supposed to leave for Botswana, they called me and said it was cancer. The thing with papillary thyroid cancer is, everyone says it's the 'good' cancer... But you're still dealing with cancer.
