Re: need prayers and support~ Angie

[Guest guest]

Angie honey, I went through that about a year ago. Mine turned out to

just be an enlarged thyroid, i did the uptake and the radioactive

iodine thingy, and there was no evidence of cancer, it's just hard to

swallow sometimes and none of my necklaces fit anymore! I didn't tell

anyone, since I am a single mom and figured the kids had enough to

worry about Mom, with the RA & lupus syndrome. I know it's scary but

you are not alone. Please keep us posted on how you are doing, OK?

God bless,

Jane

scan and the uptake done on the 23 and the 24 so hopefully I will

find out something then. I did try to call the doctor today as I

would like to know if my sore throat has to d woth the enlarged

thyroid. THanks again I will let you all know the results when I

do

Thanks
