In January of 2014 I had a partial thyroidectomy. It had been presented as the best option, and although I had hoped to heal myself without surgery, I also had to accept that I wasn't able to do so in six+ years with the assistance of a variety of Eastern and Western physicians and specialists. I was referred to a fantastic Surgeon by the name of Dr. Bouvet at UCSD Medical Center. I hardly have a scar now.
The pathologist found that the nodule on my right side thyroid was in fact stage 1 cancer. That my body had wrapped a "calcium fortress" around the cancer to prevent it from spreading. To recap, the growing nodule was complex, meaning it was soft and solid, but the calcium is what had prevented an accurate reading for all of my tests: biopsies, ultra sounds, blood work, etc... It was also nearly 5 cm big. The pathologist and surgeon were really surprised by this finding, and had never seen anything quite like it! It just goes to show that my body really was trying to protect me. The nodule was thankfully growing slowly, which is typical of thyroid cancer, and that even though it was removed, I'll still need to keep an eye on my throat: thyroid, parathyroids, and lymph nodes.
The physical recovery time was 3 weeks, but I did experience surgery trauma, which is an emotional strain from a deeply depressing or disturbing experience. Thank God for for my Tension Release work. I gave myself a session by hyperarousing my psoas muscles and I allowed my body to return to a state of rest through shaking. Very healing.
I had low energy for awhile. Maca and Chlorella powder sincerely helped me reset my energetic body. I ate lighter more nutrient meals, ate consciously, meditated more, set intentions, and I developed my listening skills with my body so that I could remain as relaxed as possible during my healing time.
My path was uniquely my own. I do not recommend this for anyone else. I only write this blog to share. To let others know that every healing journey is individual and that it may take a different turn than what you initially wanted, but if you stay connected to your higher Self (Jiva), you will know the right answer for your life.
Namaste.
