A Cancer Survivor & Fighter's Blog
Day two of being home from surgery. I’m feeling pretty good and everything went about as well as could be expected. The ENT surgeon said that just like the CT scan showed there was no metastasis to the lymph nodes and the cancer was confined to the thyroid. I won’t know anything more until the pathology report is back yet, but he told me as far as he was concerned it looked like a run of the mill papillary cancer. I guess if you have crappy enough luck to get cancer twice you should luck out and get a “good” cancer? Still pretty scared about the future, but things are starting to look more positive again.
My name is Kate Stowell. I’m a cancer survivor two times over! I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1997 and diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer in 2009. Besides surviving cancer, I am a graduate of SUNY Geneseo (2004) and SUNY Binghamton (2006) and work as a registered nurse in a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I have two wonderful children, a loving husband, and a sweet black lab. The purpose of this blog is to keep a record of all the ups and downs my growing family goes through both during treatment and everyday life. I welcome questions and comments. Welcome!
