I KNEW Something Was WRONG! - Michelle | Thyroid Cancer | The Patient Story

Michelle was 40 when she noticed a lump in her neck along with fatigue, rapid weight gain, and a fading voice. Her life shifted completely after learning the lump was pressing on her thyroid and a biopsy confirmed it was tall cell thyroid cancer.

In this cancer vlog, Michelle shares her decades-long struggle with unexplained symptoms, the frustration of being dismissed by doctors, and the moment she found a surgeon who saved her voice. She opens up about multiple surgeries, living with a chronic form of the disease, and the urgency of self-advocacy in healthcare. Her story is about persistence, finding the right medical team, and holding onto your voice, both literally and figuratively.

Thank you, Michelle, for sharing your story to help others.
