The Beginning

In December 2006 went for my annual check-up with our family physician. Even though the appointment was in mid-winter something told me to wear a low-cut t-shirt type top, which I did. My doctor noticed a lump on the bottom of my throat and after feeling the area recommended I go for an ultra-sound to check it out. I was somewhat surprised as was simply expecting the usual "You're fine - nothing new" comment. At this point, I'm not even sure the thyroid was mentioned as I simply had a possible unidentified mass in my neck.
