We arrived at our oldest son's house on Friday for a visit before heading south. After dinner, our son told us he had heard from his endocronologist again. The endo sent his MRI to another doctor who found the tumor (about 5 mm) and they decided it had to come out sooner than later. They also informed my son that his thyroid has grown back. The thyroid is one of the few glands that can regenerate. They told him it will also have to come out in a seperate surgery. The endo is contacting a surgeon to do the surgeries. We have cancelled all plans for now. We will stay home until our son hears from the surgeon and we have some indication of when things will happen. Our house is closed up so we will be living with our two sons alternately for the foreseeable future.
My son, DIL and granddaughter are all being very brave. DH and I are trying to be brave too.
Please keep up all those prayers. We need them!!

One day at a time....thinking of you.
Oh, Kathy! I wish I could give you a great big hug in person. And maybe some cookies. Or soup. Or a lasagne. (Food = comfort in my book, and I'm not a bad cook.)
Thinking of you all and hoping for the very best.
My heart sunk when i seen the title of your post {{hugs}} Thoughts and prayers most definitely with you and your son and the rest of the family x
Oh Kathy! Hugs, and Prayers, and lots of positive thoughts coming your way.
I'm so glad you were still there when the news came.
Sending positive vibes your family's way. I didn't know the thyroid can grow back!
Kathy, my thoughts are with you and your family. I hope that it all works out for the best.
Keep your chin up!
Kathy,
I'm so sorry to hear the news. It sounds good that they're going ahead and removing the tumor now instead of waiting like they'd originally planned, but I'm sorry that it's necessary for your DS to go through not only one, but two surgeries. Meanwhile, you're all in limbo and waiting to see what's going on. Much thought and prayer are with you and your family. ((hugs))
Oh Kathy, I'm so sorry to hear this. Good that you can stay at your sons' places for the time being. I'll be thinking of your son.
Life has one heck a curveball. Sending thoughts and prayers for your entire family.
