Support for Thyroid Surgery Journey

Donation protected

This is not my strength, so bear with me… About a month ago, a 5.5 cm nodule was found on my left thyroid. For months, I had been suffering through intense fatigue and depression, along with many other symptoms. Anything over 4cm is recommended for removal as they can cause serious complications with breathing, and can also be cancerous. Luckily, we live in a time that if we have to travel, we can travel anywhere. After a month of trying to navigate locally (Denver) and getting no call backs from my referral, I have opted to go to Clayman Thyroid Center in Tampa, FL. They only do thyroid surgery and are specifically set up for it. They are able to test while in surgery to make sure any potential cancer is taken care of. They are the very best in the country. My surgeon, the top thyroid surgeon in the country, personally called me today for my first consultation. The best part is I can go in 4 to 5 weeks.

So this is why we are here… I’m inviting you all on this journey with me and asking for small donations to help me with the trip. I’m trying to keep costs as low as possible but will have to fly and stay there for a few nights. At this point, it is unknown if they will take the whole thyroid or only one side. I will keep this page updated with the journey.

Thank you have a blessed day!
