Krystel's Battle With Thyroid Cancer
Donation protected
Hi friends, family and for those who do not know me I am Krystel and I am 24 years old. I was diagnosed with Psoriasis at 6 years old which progressed to PsA (Psoriatic Arthritis) causing me to go blind in my left eye with Uveitis as well as many other health conditions that followed. I started immunotherapy in my early teens and have been in and out of the doctor's for years. Just recently I found out that I have a TR5 nodule on my right thyroid (Meaning: TIRADS is a chart to determine chance of malignancy for thyroid nodules and TR5 is the highest likelyness of malignancy.) There is still a small chance that it could be benign. HOWEVER, it has started to cause me constant pain and discomfort everyday. I started to have trouble turning my neck, pain with breathing and swallowing, aura migraines, vomiting and now trouble using the restroom. I am always fatigued but struggle with sleeping due to the intense pain but now I am taking 1000 mg of Naproxen and 1000 mg of Tylenol with 2.5 mg of Oxycodone. I do have medical insurance but as of now they are only covering partial of my medical bills because I have not yet met my deductible. I started working 2 jobs around 100+ hours biweekly to pay rent, car, insurance, on top of affording my medications and hospital bills. I am barely making enough to get by. I have not started any treatments or surgery specifically for the thyroid cancer because we are still determining which kind of treatment is best and there is a waitlist for certain specialists. Asking for outside help and support is something I would not have preferred to do, but I cannot keep overworking myself when I need to rest and recover. So please, any help is appreciated more than you know, Lots of love and gratitude.
