" Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month." ISSUE 161, 5th September 2024 Welcome to all members of our thyroid family, new and old. It's lovely to have you here and a part of our community of thyroid patients wanting to thrive. π€ This free email newsletter goes out every two weeks on a Thursday and is the best way to keep up to date on all my work and hear directly from me without relying on social media algorithms! I hope you'll find this issue inspiring, reassuring and useful in your own thyroid journey. My aim is to share the information you need to live well with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's, as well as keep you up-to-date with what I'm doing in the thyroidsphere. β Thursday Thoughts Thyroid Cancer is not the 'good' cancer. Every year, September is Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month. This annual event was created to spread awareness of the symptoms and effects of thyroid cancer and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding thyroid disease, and thyroid cancer is no different. Just because it has a high five year survival rate, and is usually very treatable, does not invalidate how hard it is for someone to go through. Cancer is cancer. Treatment can be really tough, and then starting thyroid hormone replacement medication afterwards and taking a while to optimise treatment is another, separate struggle for many. βRead about the signs, symptoms and treatment of thyroid cancer in my awareness article!β And check out my thyroid patient book ββBe Your Own Thyroid Advocate: When You're Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tiredβ for more support on thyroid issues. β Thursday Health Check-in I'm continuing to take iron bisglycinate for low iron levels and will need to retest in a month or two's time. But I feel pretty good right now. I also saw a dermatologist for my itchy and sore scalp... so I am hopeful to find out what's finally going on there. β Outro - β β - Rachel Hill, The Invisible Hypothyroidism Follow Rachel on: Facebook | Instagram | Threads | Twitterβ β Sponsor a future issue of this newsletter and share your services or product with over 9,000 readers. π Interested?

"The thought of any future children having the same experience as me used to give me anxiety. Of course, no parent wants their child to suffer with something that could be more easily diagnosed and treated. So naturally, we can wonder whether there is a way to avoid them developing a thyroid condition at all." βRead this here.β The Most Popular Post From My Instagram page in The Last Fortnight: Most Popular Reels From My Social Media in The Last Fortnight:
