@Leopard, there's no way to be sure, and my thyroid has absolutely no purpose in my body, and it's starting to become more of a danger to me, even without cancer. So they have to remove it anyway, and soon, before it swells and intercepts my "vitals". Lots of jargon, I know, but I don't have any other way to explain it.

@Quail, LOL. I died too.
