And with annual reviews to detect very controllers -you relapse; Is it completely true?
Publications located at 80-90% survival at 20 years of sufferers of thyroid cancer:
1 or 2 out of 10 will not live much, that should be my chance not exceed 58. The survival rates at 5 years also indicate that a small percentage even survive so long.
2 or 3 will have recurrences (comebacks) and metastasis (extensions to other parts of the body) will receive their corresponding treatments will have to return to go back through the same nightmare.
Are such data are reliable ?. In my opinion studies are scarce and there is none with enough volume to quantify our expectations again be affected or to estimate our life expectancy, at least I, I'm no expert on the subject, I do not know.
But ... and inside our head, also cure ?, we live in fear ?, you get to forget about the cancer? ... In my case I can not help it, especially when tracking dates approach. .. I'm scared.
Am I a coward for fear? ... I know we all have an expiration date, the only difference is that my illness has made me think about it.
I'm afraid when I think that I will not see my children grow up, marry, not to meet my grandchildren ...
Fear not grow old with my wife to leave her alone with the responsibility of caring for Javier ...
Fear of not having the strength to take care of mine ... fear of not being able to support my family.
Fear especially passing a new season ... horrifies me sick.
I fear for my future work: if you ever decide to stop being autonomous, some company will hire me knowing that I've been sick and I can be pregnant again? What will the cancer my professional grave? I will I be giving the first strokes to bury writing this blog? .... Time will tell.
And you ... you are not afraid of anything ?, death, pain, failure, unemployment, aging, loneliness ...? take your fears out: see they are small, much more than your strength and beat them.
Live with our fears is not a bad thing, as long as this does not determine the way we pass through this world.
Sometimes fear grips me ... but it takes me a few moments, life is very intense and we must seize it ... you have to do many things, I have to get the most juice to the remaining years of me whatever they are, because in the end be afraid to die ... it is not that great.
