What are some tools and/or questions you have about your journey? 

🦋 

My job is to enlighten you as much as I can. To inspire you. To educate you to the best of my knowledge/experience.

Just this morning I learned about #HurthleCellCarcinoma that is a rare cancer that affects the Thyroid gland. Here I thought there was only Papillary/Follicular, Medullary and Anaplastic. 

🦋

Complications include problems swallowing and breathing that occur if the tumor grows and presses on the esophagus or trachea (windpipe) which is exactly how I discovered my papillary carcinoma. 

🦋 

According to Endocrine web Hurthle cell cancer is commonly classified as Follicular thyroid cancer although it is actually a distinct tumor because it grows more aggressively and it only makes up about 3-5% of thyroid cancers while papillary/follicular thyroid cancers account for more than 90% of all thyroid cancers.
