Thyroid Cancer Medical Expenses HJ

Donation protected
During the earlier years I went through many life changing events, I continued to tell the military doctors that there was something wrong with me. I had gained 80lbs, it hurt to swollow, chest palpitations, zombie mode the list goes on. The doctors told me for two years I was just having Anxiety and that I was fine. The new year of 2013 I could barely walk it felt like needles stabbing me in my back, we rushed to the hospital where we found out there was something wrong with my thyroid but it wasn't considered an emergency in the hospital so I needed to follow up with doctor the next day. I called my doctors office and demanded a new doctor. They granted my wishes.. entering the room the doctor already knew he had me turn around and go to the lab, long story short my thyroid level came back in the upper 97-98 range, the normal is between 1-5. For the last couple years my life has been so crazy trying to balance out everything, I thought I was doing good till I seen my endocrinologist who said I had a lot of growth in my nodule and needed a biopsy. Today I received the results of those and obviously that is why I'm here. The doctor said the labs come back "undertimend" with cancer cells which in their medical terms is a very high chance of cancer and I need to have my thyroid removed to get a better biopsy of how severe etc.
