Thyroid Carcinoma

How do you cope with fear when facing aggressive thyroid cancer surgery?

Hello. I was diagnosed with poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Had a full thyroidectomy in Aug 2025. During this "simple" procedure, they found the tumor had grown under my chest cavity so a cardiologist was called in to perform a sternectomy. They opened my chest, cracked my sternum, and wired me back together. We hoped that was the end. Pathology report says its a very rare but aggressive form of cancer. Im traveling from corpus christi to Houston to receive best medical care . Most recent image showed a new nodule. Another surgery is being planned to remove it ASAP. My faith and trust in God is huge. But fear of the unkown is scary.

I had a one time Radiation Treatment for a week now I'm having all kinds of side effects from the Radiation Treatment. The Doctors are supposed to be referring me to other Specialist but haven't heard anything yet. I'm on a liquid/ soft food diet due to choking on food, not being able to swallow and tiring out when I eat.
