Beginning your Life Uninterrupted.
It's scary to find out you have thyroid cancer. But once you've had surgery to remove
the cancer and you are taking thyroid hormone therapy, your life can just about return
to normal.
But achieving Continuous Balance means it's important to take good care of yourself:
- Eat well
- Exercise regularly
- Manage stress
- Learn relaxation methods
- Set priorities
- Laugh! Take pleasure in doing things that you did before your diagnosis.
Most of all, get regular checkups to make sure you remain cancer free. If you find it
difficult to have regular checkups for any reason, talk with your doctor or nurse about
your concerns.
Remember, you do not have to go through this alone. Talk to family and friends about
whatever fears and questions you may have, and consider joining a thyroid cancer support
group or patient organization. At a support group, you will find other people who are
willing to share their firsthand experience with thyroid cancer.
