news

got the news yesterday that I don't have thyroid cancer.

this is unlike saying that I don't have (for example) lupus, because it has actually been in question for the last couple months.

if I've seemed a little more detached or distracted than usual recently, that may have been a factor.

bulletins will continue on other conditions I don't have as they become (un)available.


opadit: I'll let you know when the insurance company tries to weasel out of not covering my tests.

Good grief. Glad to hear it. (May I ask, what led you to be tested for it?)

I found a small lump on the front right quadrant of my neck. it turns out to be a thyroid nodule, which apparently occur in a decent-sized subset of the population and are often entirely harmless.

apparently even when they're not, they're one of the easier cancers to contain and treat, but I'm glad I didn't have cause to test that.
