This little bamboo plant makes me think of my thyroid before my surgery. The left side is being taken over by disease slowly climbing its way up, engulfing it, while the right side still thrives. Now the dilemma is do we sacrifice the whole plant, or just the diseased left side? Oh little bamboo plant such a metaphor you hold.
I finally got my pathology reports last night and my cancer was not encapsulated like papillary cancers normally are. They found it in my isthmus and in the outer region of my right lobe so it was best to remove the whole thyroid.
Now you little bamboo plant, you I will at least give the benefit of a doubt and only remove the left side and hopefully we can save at least part of you. Thrive on little plant, thrive on!
