About this blog
If you already follow me on other forms of social media, you probably already know about my YouTube channel under the same name.
That channel is devoted to telling my thyroid RFA (radiofrequency ablation) story and educating people about nonsurgical procedures to shrink thyroid nodules (there are other options besides surgically removing your thyroid!). I love making videos and sharing what I have learned while researching these thyroid preserving procedures. But what I learned in the video editing process is that so much content has to be cut out to prevent the videos from being too long. I can be long-winded and I love giving all the details! But I hate to leave ANYTHING out, so the idea behind this blog was born! Here, you’ll find all of the same information in my YouTube videos, but with much more detail (and added bonuses!).
If you are looking for helpful information about thermal ablation procedures for the treatment of thyroid cysts, nodules, and cancers, you have come to the right place. Because these procedures are not widely known about and patient testimonials are extremely rare, I have made it my mission to change that and spread the word. RFA has made a tremendous difference in my life (radically improved my symptoms and I got to keep my thyroid!). But getting to the point of actually having the procedure wasn’t easy. There was no set “path” to treatment and I had to find my own way. Doing my research was laborious, to say the least (have you ever tried reading medical journals?). This blog is my effort to help lighten the burden of research on those who are considering these procedures.
I hope this blog helps you #saveyourthyroid!
