This is why I don't trust the world.

teddogFirst, they tell me my dad died of a heart attack.
Then, they tell me that it was an enlarged heart and bad heart beat.
This was caused by Aldosteronoma (Conn's).
Now they say that he had thyroid cancer and this may have added to the mess.
MAKE UP YOUR MINDS PEOPLE!
As I told Jen, this don't add up. If dad was being scanned and treated for Aldosteronoma, why didn't anyone notice that something was wrong with the thyroid? He had a family history of thyroid problems. He had skin cancer about 7 or so years ago. Maybe that should have tipped someone off...?
And the lovely doctors didn't test him for the RET gene or at least, didn't inform us about it. Damn, I'd like to know if I'm at risk for cancer too. I'll probably have to miss a year of college, but if I need to I'd rip out my own thyroid gland to prevent it from happening to me.
If it has to come out, that means more money spent every month on drugs so I don't drop dead. As if my current bill of $100 isn't enough.
I really wish school would start soon, so I'll have something to focus on. I'll also going to kill that redheaded third year student. WTF is his problem?
