Thanks guy's for this support post. June 07, it all started with an enlarged Parotid Gland and went away with antibiotics. But we ordered a CT scan just to take a look to be on the safe side. It showed nodules on the Thyroid and enlarged lymph nodes. With a fine needle biopsy they discovered Thyroid Cancer. Now diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer, Papillary and Follicular. I had the surgery total Thyroidectomy and the removal of the cancerous lymph nodes. 8 1/2hrs. went through it fine. But right afterwards I developed pneumonia, most likely from the anesthesia ...sometimes happens with long surgeries. While in the Hospital again to treat the pneumonia I had a CT Scan with contrast(Iodine) it showed a large mass or tumor at the time on or behind the Pancreas. So with the Lung needing to recuperate before any other treatment or testings either on the Thyroid Cells still left in me or the new found Mass by the Pancreas. Priority was to heal. After my Lung became stronger we needed to do the R-131 treatment to kill off any Thyroid cells left. But because we needed at the time to do a CT Scan w/contrast(Iodine) for the lung in the Hospital I had to wait longer then needed, because of the Iodine in my system. To move on, we saw a battery of Specialists all over the place. I had a fine needle biopsy done of the mass on the Pancreas. The findings only showed Lymphatic tissue. OK, so now we are discussing more testings. All of a sudden my Parotid Gland enlarged again, same one that started all this off. The mass on the Pancreas goes to the back burner. It(the Parotid Gland) lit up like a lighthouse on my PET Scan. But nothing with the enlarged Lymph Node by the Pancreas. More surgery 5 1/2 hrs. they remove the Parotid Gland and a Wharton's Tumor and more lymph nodes. A couple weeks go bye and I have the much needed R-131 treatment to kill of the remaining Thyroid cells. Go through it well, Stayed isolated and swelled up like a beach ball. Now after that and recuperated we needed to address the mass on the pancreas. More Specialists all over the place. Another fine needle biopsy was ordered and the pathology report showed T-Cell activity. Either T-Cell N/K or Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma. My Oncologist wanted more tissue to be exactly sure. So a Deep cavity Core Biopsy was ordered. Mind you, all my blood work this whole past year was perfect. We just received a copy of the pathology report prior to meeting with my Oncologist. The report is "favoring Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma. My appointment is later today and we will most likely know the whole picture.

I truly THANK YOU for all your kindness, well wishes, prayers and support. After I hear more, I will bring up all up to speed.

Jules

Sending up my prayers, especially Psalm 23, that all will work out well for our INFI brother.

Take comfort, amigo, in this from John 10:27-29, for not only our prayers, but a mighty hand upholds you. (emphasis mine)
"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand."
