So I'm one year out from having thyroid cancer. I had my thyroid removed, um, in January, 2019. So my personal experience was the, the surgery was surgery. It wasn't fun. It wasn't anything I enjoyed, but what was to follow is what I did not like. So after you have your surgery, you're on medicine. And then when it's time to take your radiation, they want to run some tests and they want you to do a low iodine diet and you don't take any medicine at that time. And then you take go in for your radiation and they'll do some scans and they want to see how, if they can find any thyroid tissue that they left behind. So that period of being hypothyroid is horrible. Horrible. Absolutely horrible. You can't get up.
