I do not want to create a post today at first. However, I just learn that today is World Cancer Day. This topic is much closer to home today for me than in the past. I spent the whole day working from home. This Friday, I will be going Thyroid Cancer Support Group. It seems that we have more gatherings now than before. There are plans to provide awareness and self-help especially for those who are newly diagnosed. How are your day today?

I hope you can help a lot of people who are new to thyroid problems... I would have loved someone to explain things to me when I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. My night was fine. I watched a movie and some YouTube videos, then washed dishes and cleaned the kitchen counters. I'm about ready to go to sleep for a while.

People with cancer are so tough, and I guess they are forced to find strength they never knew they had.
