Thyroid Cancer - Kristin’s Story

Kristin's thyroid cancer was first discovered by a doctor during a pre-surgical appointment for elective sinus surgery. At that point, all she knew was that she had nodules on her thyroid and she needed to get them further tested. Hear about the roller coaster of getting multiple false-negative test results, finding out the true nature of the nodules after they were removed, and how her life has changed.
