I had robotic-assisted right-side thyroid cancer surgery (Thyroidectomy) on 3/23/22 at Weill Cornell, NYC. This vlog is a raw look at the day before and the day of surgery. The surgeon created an incision through my armpit to reach my throat without leaving a scar. Thank you, friends, for all your support. It really meant the world to me.

🙏🙏🙏I hope you doing better
I had complications after donating a kidney. Eventually had to get a central line in the ground by a first year resident. Had to have something for blood transfusions and fluids and meds. Praying you feel better. Pain meds make me nauseous as well. Phenergan was all that helped. That and Tylenol.
just got this operation 2 weeks ago...was hard. more than stoma 😢
I have seen a lot of videos from doctors here on CZcams that explain how to starve Cancer.I wish you all the best God bless you
thank you
Hope you are well. Wishing you a smooth journey moving forward .. Take care…
thank you
Sorry you had to go through all that pain, I pray that you're feeling much better!🙏
Thank you! i’m going well
You are amazing. I had my reverse done in February. I can't seem to enjoy food anymore. Can you tell what kind of diet you were eating? Is it ok to eat rice? I'm at the point of giving up sometime, but your video encourages me to continue on this lonely road.
it took me a while to start eating normal food again. start slow and incrementally add. i found that when i couldn’t eat normally, it really affected my mental health. Takes time.
Music is too distracting to listen to you. Wishing you well. You could have probably helped more people.. During school lectures, music isn't played because of sensory overload. Lectures are not presented at concerts. Thank you for trying to share.
thanks for the feedback
you are too funny and i love how u deal with life by your story!! ❤
appreciate the feedback
been there done that!!
JESUS HAS SAVED ME, I ALMOST DIED AND I THANK HIM EVERYDAY FOR TAKING CARE OF ME! I AM GOIN IN ON MAY 13TH FOR MY REVERSAL! I AM GOIN TO KEEP U IN PRAYER! 🙏
i hope all goes well, you will get through it
I am sigmoid COLOSTOMY surgery in India doctor say after 6 months of surgery to COLOSTOMY reversal surgery any suggestions plz help me
yeah that’s about right.
Hello, I would like to ask how much did you spent for the reversal colostomy? Huhu barely need po para makapagipon ng ulit ako for my father’s reversal colostomy
i have insurance so…
I hope tha the year+ that has passed since you experienced this has brought you relief and healing!
thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I just found out I have the same issue (Tailgut Cyst). I appreciate your insight.
mine turns out it wasn’t tailgut, i did have it removed and my life is so much better after
How are you doing after hysterectomy? Thanks
i’m doing good!
@@iamOOTO is it painful after surgery? Thanks
Good to hear!
Damn. You went through a lot of pain, I bet.
I have a tail gut cyst with two lobes the size of grapefruit and walnut connected by a strand that may be connected to other things. Having hysterectomy to clear the way for the cyst removal. I'm 51 and done having children so I'm OK with that. I'm super worried about resection of vagina and/or bowels. The ostomy just overwhelms me frankly. I'm also just curious how long I will need to be out of work and resting. Do I need one level living? My cyst could be cancerous...but they won't know til after surgery. Thank you for sharing your journey. Even hard stories are good preparation for what could be....
mine ended up to be an endo cyst instead of tailgut… it was removed and took a while to heal but it gave me my life back from pain
Had mine done Jan 19 serious pain afterwards
I love you too much
Hello maam.......Did your calcium level drop after thyroidectomy?
no, but my potassium was always on the low side.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very informative video, but the music was very annoying and loud against your soft voice.
Sorry about that! :X noob editor here... will see if i can redo the video with toned down music...
Hello ,, maam may i know what did you eat about thyroid carcinoma diet ,, what did you eat and notbto eat ... Hope you reply me
Hello! I didn't have any special diet for Thyroid. I did have a limited diet for Colostomy, no fiber allowed, only white carbs and stewed meat. Afterwards, I didn't have any limited diet.
I just came across your channel and feel less alone. I have had adenomyosis, endometriosis, PCOS, uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, and ovarian cysts. I recently got diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I was born disabled with spina bifida, became Deaf at 3 months due to hospital negligence and since then have developed over 20+ chronic illnesses including some unknown autoimmune disease. The cancer is kicking me while I am already down… but I am gonna beat it since I am only 32 with a good chance of survival. My surgery to remove the cancer in May 2023 did not come without complications. I ended up in ICU and nearly died. I had heaps of cancer in my neck and my lymph nodes were as big as golf balls. I lost my whole thyroid and the parathyroids, and had a neck dissection in which they removed many lymph nodes. I had my RAI in August and now I am just waiting to have the scan to see if it worked. I have had a few surgeries but the one surgery they won’t let me have is a hysterectomy, because I haven’t had kids, even though I don’t want to have them! They didn’t care that I bled for 8 months straight at one point. I have no rights to my own body… Taking the pill continuously may have caused 10+ tumours to grow in my liver, so I had to stop taking that as well. So now I am suffering and bleeding so much and begging for a hysterectomy at this point. I have no idea if I have cancer in my liver or not, still trying to find out. They did a PET scan (cancer scan) and various parts of my body lit up. I have multiple enlarged lymph nodes, tumours and nodules throughout my body and organs. I also have a pre-cancerous blood condition that I am hoping hasn’t progressed to a blood cancer. This year has been really scary and I am hoping 2024 will be a better one. Anyway, I have seen that you have had the surgeries to solve your issues… I really hope you’re doing a lot better now. ❤
i’m so sorry to hear all the pain you’ve been through. It is traumatic and i hope you have support or seek support to find peace through the rough times. it took me a while to get back to “normal”, and meditation/journaling/gardening was very helpful during the time to stay grounded
@@iamOOTO Thank you so much for your reply and kind words. Absolutely need to do things that ground you when going through a stressful time. I need to do that more, but I find myself so sick and tired and unable to lift my head off my pillow… I am hoping that I can get on top of this mountain of pain, suffering and stress. I hope you are doing well now and adjusting to your new normal. ❤️
Healing love to you. I have my operation in February 2nd 2024. Thanks for sharing your story
wishing you smooth operation and peace during healing journey
@@iamOOTO what medicine for pain ur taking
New subscriber going through your playlist of your journey. Thank you for your honesty and letting us know everything im positive it will help many. I hope this finds you well a year later. 😊
thank you for watching and hope it brought you peace and safe healing journey
@iamOOTO I still can't get over how they would have done a surgery you were completely unaware of. So glad you caught that! My journey begins Jan 3rd have my first appointment. Blessings to you for a healthy and happy future always. Let us know how it's going. 😊
@@AnneMarieBibby1966 hi hi :) Not sure what you mean by done surgery if I was unaware of it... ^_^.
I call what I have is a gymnastics heart. I went to several doctors and had many tests and they don’t know what the issue is. I went in for emergency surgery and during surgery my heart went crazy then after a few days out of ICU I had issues with my heart and it took 2 hours to get me settled. That evening I said to the nurse see you tomorrow. She said yes if you are still here. You must know that I am a very comical guy, during my situation.
i cant imagine thinking back what that's really like....
Sounds like you were swollen! If you have to have a foley again and have trauma and swelling ask for a pediatric cath! And FIRE THAT NIGHT NURSE!!!!
I ended up not reporting her but i was traumatized at that time w.o much sleep. it was difficult time and happy it’s over when i look back on it
I too have a colostomy due to perforation during a sigmoidoscopy. Same for me…ptsd! Had sepsis, 21 day hospitalization, almost died. I get my reversal in January! Thank you for sharing!
oh my goodness. i’m glad i can share this journey with you. how are you doing now?
@@iamOOTO Doing better…just scared about my upcoming surgery! Thank you.
I'm too I have a colostomy due to a car accident in August and waiting for my reversal I'm soo happy for you we will make through this ❤️
I was just wondering if your hysterectomy was done via open incision or by the robotic system?
hi! it was all robotic
Chugging train: cute.
Hi 👋 I get my first surgery on December,I have a colostomy bag right now on my stomach,this Friday I have my exam for review and after that my schedule for my reversal colostomy,,may I can asked a couple questions?
sure please ask below
@@iamOOTO how’s the reconnection?they opening the middle of my stomach again or they just opened the area where my colostomy bag is? Good morning 🌞
@@JoseRamirez-gs5uj I had a colostomy reversal 2 months ago. They did it via laparoscopy, so, just small incisions. I had wondered the same thing at first. - It is still annoying to have more scars so please ask your physicians for Clear details if this is an issue for you. It's nice to be rid of the bag, anyhow, and my bowel recovery has gone pretty well. (Constipated at first.)
the reconnection surgery went well, took me some time to get used to it but i did not have complications after
nice to hear it went well for you, i had mine without complications
It is not a disability it's what you make of it
yes you are right, keeping the positive vibes
Hope you are doing well. Thanks for sharing.
yes will upload video soon
Despite all odds you are looking better than ever
ty
I totally relate to you, so I must say I feel what you are going through… I had a total hysterectomy and bowel[rectum] resection due to endometriosis… had further complications that resulted to a temporary loop ileostomy and I have been carrying the poop bag for 13weeks now, there is a hole in my rectum and my surgeon is waiting for it to close before I am clear for my reversal. It’s been a lot of crying, depression, suicide thoughts etc but all this has brought me even close to GOD. My question is , what part of your colon perforated and how long did it take before reversal? And finally , how are you doing now after being reversed? Thank you. I will be praying for you and all those currently going through this. Be strong! Love and light . 💫
i reversed 3 months after and i’m back to normal . this all will pass… ❤️❤️❤️
@@iamOOTO this gives me hope ! Thank you 🙏🏽
Amazing journey told with a vulnerable and informative narrative, like know other!! I’ve suffered for years before being diagnosed with Adenomyosis and I learned more from you than any doctor ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m so happy you’re doing well😊 how was the transition from the colostomy bag to being back to normal because so many people have a hard time adjusting? I’m so happy to have found your channel, thanks so much for all the information and sharing of how it really is. ❤️😊✌️
aww that’s so nice of you to know that. i started this channel as an outlet while going through this journey. I’m doing well now and because of so many new comments on these videos from last year it makes me want to continue posting post-operation updates! ❤️
@@iamOOTO would absolutely love that!!!❤
Prayers said for you. M ay God keep you in perfect peace as you go through these things. Remember, he is with you even unto the end of the earth.
thank you!
Glad you made this video I’m in the process of surgery I feel really tired and I’m limited in what I can do. I’m hoping I have a speedy recovery
please feel free to ask me anything if you wish!! i’m praying for your speedy recovery and strength to get through surgery
So happy to hear from you and see how you are doing. It is reassuring to hear you talk about the careful steps you’re taking introducing food into your system. Please continue to improve and get back to us in a few days if you feel like it. ❤
