Tammee's Story
Life
Hello Everyone,
I'm now 35, married to Julian Thomas (Luke, 42), with 2 daughters 12 & 14. I currently live in North. I have homeschooled my girls for 4 years now. Sent oldest to Calhoun Academy this year in St Matthews-contemplating a move there. Life has been a challenge over the past year, endured 5 surgeries to remove 2 cancerous tumors. I had a high grade Alveolar's soft part sarcoma in my right groin area (very rare)-they took my femeral nerve in my thigh with the tumor, so I have permanent muscle damage and full leg numbness. Had to relearn how to walk and remain in physical therapy. I also had Papillary Thyroid cancer. (2 separate primary cancers-even more rare) Went through 5 weeks of radiation on groin tumor, had my first radiation treatment for thyroid-not sure how many remain. Spent a total of about a month in the hospital, endured 18 hyperbaric treatments, fo...Expand for more
r a total of 45 hours. (helps in wound healing) Also had to wear a wound vac for 5 weeks-that was no fun at all...Have to be checked every 3 mths for 3 years, every 6 mths for 2 years, and every year there after for life. I have about a 20% chance of recurrence or spread. No chemo! No evidence of cancer as of Sept scans! The doctors at Duke in Raleigh-Durham, NC are wonderful and would recommend them to anyone!
Life is exciting and new again. I am reaching out to old friends, I don't want to miss a minute!
I'd love to hear from you!
