Last November, I underwent surgery for a total thyroidectomy. I had spent the better part of 2012 in various states of shock, fear, denial and anxiety as biopsy results and the fate of my thyroid were analyzed and negotiated by my doctors and me, much like the terms of a mortgage. Having a background in fitness, nutrition, and holistic health, I was hopeful the nodule growing on my thyroid would go away on its own, and if not on its own, then with the aid of good eating, rest, exercise, and plenty of meditation and hands-on healing work.
