First Journal, just needed a space to figure things out.
Found out there's some masses on my thyroid this week and I'm getting a biopsy done on Monday. Kinda freaky but I suppose it is what it is.
I consider myself fairly religious even if I don't attend church or whatnot, not sure how many people are in the same boat as me there. That being said I'm a little anxious about what I might find out but also kind of accepting of what it might be and willing to fight if need be.
That being said, I have looked into what might happen if I find out it is cancer. Looks like my military service will pay off as it will give me 100% disability due to the PACT act, at least during the treatment phase, on top of any long-term disability I might have to take. So that's good. VA will cover medical expenses and the like so that won't put a financial burden on my family, so I suppose that's a best case scenario.
That being said, I'm wondering how others coped with the knowledge they might have something like cancer in their near future. What the procedure for a biopsy was like for them, and how they found treatment for something like that as I've heard a lot of horror stories and would like to get my mind right just in case.
Feel free to hit me with your experience below, and thanks ahead of time for anyone that shares their experiences.
