So proud of mentee @LexiTune! #AAES2023

Data show a decrease in #thyroidcancer related fear & worry 9 months after lobectomy and total thyroidectomy!

Less extensive, safer surgery offers equivalent emotional benefit‼️

Incredibly honored to contribute to this @nytimes piece alongside @glynelwyn about deciding to have surgery…which will happen to pretty much all of us at some point.

Take a deep breath and consider your options!

So important when making medical decisions too!

Regulate your emotions & educate yourself before you make an important treatment choice…

you may avoid potential unanticipated and unwanted outcomes!

Excited work with my @UWEndoSurg @WiscSurgery mentor & colleague @rebecca_sippel (funded by @UWCarbone & @theNCI R01) is highlighted in @EndocrineToday!

Patients reactions to a cancer diagnosis are important and can affect treatment decisions and outcomes

@TheAAES @WiSOR_group

[CHOiCE Study @ChoiceStudy]

@EndocrineToday How this reaction impacts subsequent care will be important to address!

[Endocrine Today @EndocrineToday]

ICYMI: "In our clinical practices, we see patients with all different types of reactions to their diagnosis, including those characterized by shock and fear. “We were not surprised by the reactions some participants shared."
