PLEASE GO TO MY NEW THYROIDECTOMY SUPPORT SITE AT HTTP://WWW.LIFEWITHOUTATHYROID.COM for support, questions, and updates!! I had brunch with an ex-employee that I hadn’t seen in several years. While trying to downplay my thycan, my partner was like ‘honey, it hasn’t exactly been nothing!”. So it’s been about 1.5 years since my thyroidectomy. Quick recap:…
The other day I biked an (in)famous ride called “The Rock Store ride” by bicyclists and “The Snake” by motorcyclists. It’s a ridiculous road that used to be an old horse-carriage road a century ago, that is now popular with cyclists and motorists for it’s twisty, turny climb. Here are the GPS details of my…
I’m not gonna lie – it’s been a rough week for me. After losing weight and having my body go askew, I’m still dealing with the repercussions. The doctor had me go down to 100mcg of synthroid about a week ago. This week, I am a ZOMBIE. ZOMBIE! I can barely move, I don’t want…

Looking back at my blog posts from that time, I can confirm that getting my slender neck back was the only “Pro” of having thyroid cancer. I’m coming up on the one year anniversary of my thyroidectomy. The past year has been interesting. Some…
I’ve posted before about my trail biking experience and how tough it was for me. Well, this morning I got out of the house by 7 AM to hit the trails!! I apologized to my road bike and road off into the canyon. Now, I have a dilemma. Long time readers may recall that I…
Happy New Year! 2011 started out sort of boring and bland for me, even with a new job. Then it all hit the fan at the same time. Cancer, work, love life, all hit at once! Alas, I haven’t done any serious cycling since my surgery, so time to change that. Glad to be cancer…
Commuting in the dark, stormy night and staying glaringly, hideously visible.
