Follow up w/surgeon

Today I went to Sloan Kettering for the follow up with my surgeon.  All is well, and the stitches are out.  He said it was a "micro cancer" meaning very small.  He does not need to see me for another six months.  Next, I need to see an endocrinologist to see about thyroid medication.  He seems to think that I will definitely need it. 

One question I asked was if this cancer was brought on by my treatment.  He said that it was purely coincidental.  It would have grown and years from now I probably would have shown signs of it.  It would have been a slightly bigger deal so it is very good that we found it so early.

And that's great but I really had an "Oh crap" moment today because now I have had two cancers!  I mean, I understood that perfectly last week, but today it really hit me.  And I really did not like it when it hit me.  Sometimes I wonder if I am too calm about all this.  But then I decided why be miserable, that won't get me anywhere either.  So, I will do what I've been doing all along-just keep on going.
