It actually sounds funny saying this, but in this case, I guess we can say thank goodness for IF. I am so glad that they got it all. Best wishes!

Wow. I feel that things happen for a reason, even though we don't always understand why. This is truly validation of that theory. I am so glad that you had this surgery and caught this thing before it spread!

OMG Jen this is a huge shock. I remember you saying everything was fine. This was a miracle that you were told no more until you get your tumor taken out! IF really did save your life. WOW, I'm just amazed.

Thank you all so much. I am just waking from a wine enduced power nap! This news just floored me, I didn't know what to do when I got home I found my self pacing and overwhelmed with gratitude that I was spared the awful knowledge that I had cancer until it was out of me! I am so grateful that words can't incompass all the things going on in my head and heart since I found out the truth of the matter! I am so glad I never won the argument with the RE and endos that they can have the tumor radiated after I give birth. Not one of them would support IF treatment until it was out and I kept arguing why not if it is benign. I fired 3 endos over this argumnet! Man I am thick headed! The only time I had a hint that it might be cancer was in talking to my friend who is a 2 time cancer survivor she asked my how the hyper thyroid/tumor was making me feel and when I discribed my symptoms she said Jen it sounds alot like the same symptoms I was experiencing. I thought she was over stating. Also another clue was when I had my nucleur test done, the tech was extremely concerned how my body responded to the test and he treated me as if I was terminal and I left there thinking this guy is a wacko! Now looking back I wonder if from his expereince with reading that test result he knew something wasn't right, he kept telling me to have it taken out immediatly and he was all choked up and he was not treating the 2 other people there having the test the way he was treating me. It's amazing the my 2 bouts with IF are what saved me, the tumor was discovered following the birth of my daughter when discussing with my OB my problems getting pregnant with her and the frequency of my cycles after her birth and the malignancy was discovered while having problems TTC #2! I look forward to the day they are old enough to explain to and understand that they helped to save my life! WOW you guys this is all so deep! I am just so deeply and profoundly grateful!

Jen

What doesn't make sense? The needlectomy only takes a few cells, the malignancy was deep in the center is that what you meant, that they said benign and then it wasn't?
