I Was Told My Thyroid Tumour Was “Just Bad Luck.” I Didn’t Fully Believe That.

At 26 years old, I was diagnosed with a tumour on my thyroid.

I remember sitting in the doctor’s office and asking one question:

“Why did this happen?”

There was no history of thyroid cancer in my family, so I struggled to understand how it had happened to me. The answer I received was simple:

“Bad luck.”

While I understand why he said that, something about it didn’t sit right with me. Not because I thought I was to blame. Not because I believed illness is always preventable. But because being told it was simply “bad luck” made me feel completely powerless regarding my own health.
