Tanya's Journey

On September 14, 2011 Tanya was diagnosed with Metastatic Papillary Thyroid cancer.

I am planning to keep this page updated with the latest news for anyone interested in following her journey from diagnosis through surgery and on to recovery.

ENT Appointment (Dr. Hsieh)

Had our appointment with Dr. Hsieh today.  He confirmed that he has been in contact with Dr. Lee and that the two of them will assist each other in performing the thyroidectomy and modified neck dissection.  He also did a laryngoscopy to look at Tanya's throat and vocal chords.  The laryngoscopy wasn't as bad as either Tanya or I imagined (but still not all that fun), and only took a few minutes.

He will now coordinate with Dr. Lee to set a time for the surgery...  Hope to have an update on that soon.
