Hi Folks,

Apologies there has not been any activity here for a while.

Last night we held our first meeting since the loss of our beloved Secretary Cy, where we discussed what we need to do to keep supporting those who need us.

There may be some issues with us receiving calls and emails, and our website needs an update so please contact us by Facebook or Twitter whilst we work on it.

We have decided to hold an informal get together at Whitchurch Rugby Club on the evening of 15th September. This will be a great opportunity for new patients to meet the group and other patients over a cuppa.

Please pencil this date into your diaries, more info to follow soon.

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Cy Davies, our group secretary and one of our founder members on 16th April. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

Cy supported many Thyroid Cancer patients through diagnosis and treatment and for that we are truly grateful. He will be greatly missed by us all.

Tonights episode of “ Your body uncovered” featured a woman with a thyroid growth. Definitely worth watching for a better understanding of the Thyroid gland. Amazing 3D imaging too!

Episode 3 https://g.co/kgs/rjmEQV

Episode 3 Kate and Guddi meet Judith, a singer who has been delaying treatment of a thyroid nodule for fear it may damage her singing voice, as well as Melina, whose love for good food has been curtailed because of agonising gallstone attacks.

Happy New year to all our members and supporters!
Our next group meeting is tonight at 7pm on Zoom.
