In this episode Gary Bloom (executive director of ThyCa) shares his experience of being diagnosed with thyroid cancer 27 years ago, when treatment for the disease looked very different than it does now. Having initially been diagnosed with sleep apnea, the road to diagnosis took some time and then the treatment for his cancer took about 3 years. He shares about the difficult experience of having to be separated from his newborn daughter and his young son for several months after having had his first dose of RAI. Gary talks about his approach of living life without second guessing, the role of his family as his primary source of support, what it's like to look back on his treatment 27 years ago, and his appreciation for support group members and medical professionals throughout his journey.
ThyCa conference is September 16-18 2022, link for details/registration: https://thycaconference.vfairs.com/
