@Novacourt My dad also had thyroid cancer in addition to early found prostate cancer. He made the decision to remove and he is so happy have committed to it. He’s 68, happier and healthier than ever. You got this!
If your friends don’t celebrate your wins as if they were their own, find new friends.
True friends don’t get jealous, they get inspired. Grow together, succeed together.
The more you heal, the less your worth is tied to how others treat you, and the higher your standards for relationships will be. Lack of effort, bye. Bare minimum, bye. See you as low-hanging fruit, bye. Only show up when they need you, bye. Want you to fix what they broke, bye.
