Thyroid Gland

In December Lyndsie (she's 21) was in training with an ultra sound tech. The tech suggested that Lyndsie try it out and do an ultrasound on herself on her thyroid. She did and as she was doing so the tech noticed a growth on her thyroid. They called in their supervisor and she suggested that Lyndsie should see someone. Well she had it biopsied and they couldn't tell if it was cancerous or not. They told her to watch it. She did and on her next ultrasound it had grown. She saw a doctor in Idaho Falls and was recommended to get it out and was referred to a surgeon. She had surgery on Wednesday and went home on Thursday. They took the growth that was on her thyroid, but didn't get into it. She was told that she would get the results back on Monday (Three days ago). She did and the growth was malignant. So they went back in yesterday to remove her thyroid. Now she will have to have radiation. She is a very strong person and we know she can do anything.

WE love her very much and have been praying for her and her family!!!!
