Many of you may already know this, but a couple weeks ago I was diagnosed with papillary carcinoma. 

in early December I could feel something stuck in my throat so I went to my family doctor, she said she thought it could be nothing but better to get an ultrasound of my thyroid to be sure. Beginning of January we got the call that they found a nodule on my thyroid and referrals for a biopsy were sent out. February 1st I had the biopsy done and when the results came back my entire life shifted. Currently we are playing the waiting game for more appointments/scans/surgery. 

I am posting this not only to raise awareness but to show you that this can happen to anyone. I am a 23 year old female with cancer and that is something I never thought would happen to me. 

This year my sister is running relay for life and I will be walking along side her to raise money for a cure. Cancer not only attacks your physical health but your mental health aswell and I have never been through something so hard in my entire life. 

I am determined to get through this and come out the other side better than ever. If you can donate, anything helps.
