Former Member Helen Becnel

From Barbara Nezat:

I spoke to Helen tonight and she said her surgery went well, she is home now. She said they removed a growth the size of a pecan from her thyroid, however it was not malignant.

Hi Gang: Just wanted you to know that I will be operated on two weeks from today (Monday) Mar.24 and I need your prayers. I have a nodule on my thyroid and the tests were inconclusive, so I want the whole thyroid out and that is what the surgeon suggested, as I could get another one on the other side another time. I had part of my thyroid taken out because of a nodule some years back.I am on medication any way, so I will be on med. for the rest of my life. Its OK with me. Love Ya! Helen Becnel
