Steve_v3 289 Report post Posted January 26 So after wiring my upper jaw didn’t work I went back today. They decided to put in two plates to stabilize the fracture. Definitely not feeling too great right now. Hopefully after this weekend it’ll feel better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Friend's would joke That I should have a gold card and a reserved parking space. It's bad enough when I brought my Dad and wife for their colonoscopies the staff said "Hi Steve, What are you doing here?" I have doctor offices that know my last name & birthday when I check in.

Steve_v3 289 Report post Posted April 23 In the latest installment of what’s wrong with Steve. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer today. I had a CT after my facial fracture that showed some abnormal lymph nodes. After a follow up CT of my chest and neck they found multiple enlarged lymph nodes and a nodule on my thyroid. I had a biopsy of a lymph node last Thursday. I got the results today of Thyroid carcinoma. I’ll see someone from endocrinology and their surgeons to discuss next steps. I will most likely have my thyroid removed. After that I don’t know. So in a strange way getting hit with that puck and getting a facial fracture may save my life.

When having your face broken ends up being a positive, you know you're getting kicked in the junk way too often. Damn dude, I'm sorry. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marka 526 Report post Posted April 24 Howdy, Holy shit! Hopefully catching it early (I hope?) means treatment goes well. And yeah, having a puck bash your face in ending up being a good thing... Wow! Mark 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve_v3 289 Report post Posted April 30 I saw my surgeon yesterday and I’m having surgery on May 23. I’ll be having a complete Thyroidectomy and bilateral neck dissection. I have multiple cancerous lymph nodes that need to come out. There’s a lot of scary complications, but they are all low chances of happening. The tough part is the lymph nodes that are close to other structures or deep in muscles. There’s some near my corroded artery and jugular. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve_v3 289 Report post Posted May 23 (edited) In about 5 hours I'll be getting ready for my surgery. I skated last night and it was helpful keeping my mind off my impending surgery. It's starting to sink in that it's happening. So I will be getting my thyroid removed along with all the lymph nodes in my neck. followed by a second surgery to remove lymph nodes in my chest. Thankfully it will be done laparoscopic and I won't be having my chest cracked open like in open heart surgery. But I'll have a chest tube in for about 24 hours and that's not going to be very pleasant. I want to thank the people who have reached out to me.
