This is a picture of me about 2 and 1/2 months after the removal of the tumor on the right side of my thyroid. Everyone says, "Oh...it looks so good!" To me, it is so noticeable, but I guess that's expected. I have had my thryroid levels checked, and so far so good. The left side of my thyroid is doing its job! I was relieved to not have to be on any more medication. I am just now feeling like I am over this surgery. The strength in my voice is just now getting back to normal. I really can tell it when I sing :) Until the last couple of weeks, I had still felt scar tissue built up underneath the incision. Now, it is smooth. I have been keeping Vitamin E oil or cocoa butter on it. I am still concerned about getting too much sun on it, and it being more noticeable this summer, as I do love to be out in the sun and tan very easily. I hate for it to stay dark like this. I have been told that it will fade and become like a little white scar. With my skin color, I'm not sure......I'll have to wait and see!
