Thyroid Cancer opened my eyes
I hate to call myself a survivor when there are so many brave men and women out their fighting far worse cancers than my own. I was lucky to be diagnosed with a cancer with a very high survival rate. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at the age of 20. I had a lump in my throat for a couple of months and finally had it checked out by my doctor. I was sent to receive and ultrasound and was then sent to a local endocrinologist. I was given a biopsy on a Thursday and was told that I would be called the following week for results. The next day, I was called and asked to come into the office. I went into that office with the strongest most positive thoughts. When I was told that my thyroid had cancerous cells, I took a deep breath, looked at my mom then asked the doctor if I would be okay. He reassured me that if I wanted any type of cancer this would be the one to choose. I was operated on in June of 2009 and went through two treatments of radiation. I am now 23 years old and cancer free. My thyroid levels have been perfect and my doctor tells me that he has high hopes that if I die it will be at the age of 90 because of jumping out of a window, not because cancer got the best of me. I now have one less "part" of my amazing machine called a body, but I have gained so much more. I now run on positive thoughts and wake up everyday and think about a saying from my favorite movie, "Hakuna Matata"!

Thank you
I just happened to stumble on this site and saw your story. I'm 24 and recently had my thyroid removed because of a cancerous nodule and just went through with the radioactive pill in July. I am now getting into the swing of things with my medication, but I completely understand your statement of how you hate to call yourself a survivor. There are so many others fighting a far worse battle, but this diagnosis and the action taken has been such a wake up call to me and my family. I had been so reluctant for the surgery, but I know this decision has been one of my best. I'm just happy to know that I am not the only one out there feeling a bit guilty to claim their self as a survivor, when we really are. So, thank you :)

Ray-Bans were first created in 1936. Some years earlier, Lieutenant John A. Macready (an American test pilot) returned from a balloon flight, complained that the sun had permanently damaged his eyes, and contacted Bausch u0026 Lomb asking them to create sunglasses that would provide protection and also look sophisticated. On May 7, 1937, Bausch u0026 Lomb took out the patent, and the Aviator was made available to the public. The prototype, known as Anti-Glare, had a frame weighing 150 grams. They were made of gold-plated metal with green lenses made of mineral glass to filter out infrared and ultraviolet rays. Pilots in the United States Army Air Corps immediately adopted the sunglasses. The army wanted sunglasses that would protect the soldiers' eyes from harmful light while maintaining a stylish look. The Ray-Ban Aviator became a well-known style of sunglasses when General Douglas MacArthur landed on the beach in the Philippines in World War II, and photographers snapped several pictures of him wearing them. Ray-Bans were quickly seen outside the army. They quickly gained popularity through other wars and even made a debut in the movies. In 1952, Ray-Ban created another style, the Ray-Ban Wayfarer, this time with plastic frames, which became popular soon after its release. By 1962, Ray-Ban started to create impact-resistant lenses. It was not until ten years later when the United States of America made impact-resistant eye wear mandatory through the FDA regulation. Wayfarer sunglasses were seen on movie stars, TV stars, and musicians. Ray-Ban still remains a top designer in the sunglasses industry with its constant changes of color, frames, and lenses.
