Since this blog is also my history
I have decided to include the goiter
that I have carried for about 20 years.
The doctor says that it has to come out
in order to have quality of life. He had me
raise my arms above my head so he could see the effect
of the goiter on my blood vessel returning to the heart from
my head. Notice how large they are. He says that shows
they are blocking flow of blood in the veins.
He scheduled me with a surgeon but I can't show an
image of the problem caused by the left side
that is not big (or appear big) like the right side.
It actually is larger and after sticking a camera
through my nose into my throat he could see that it
was pressing against my throat causing it to be
pressing together, not closed off yet but could
in the future.
