Thomas Drayton

Listen in to Thomas's story this month, as he shares about being diagnosed with stage 4C medullary thyroid cancer in 2020 after having not been to the doctor in about 6 years. He shares about the difficult process of diagnosis, along with being told that he has metastasis in his spine/hips and that he has the HRAS mutation (which doctors have told him impact the ability for them to treat him). He is honest about continuing to have difficult emotional days, but has also found ways to cope with his diagnosis (he shares about finding others diagnosed with MTC, his support system, and cycling). He has plans to cycle across every US state before he dies, we are cheering for you Thomas!
**Please be aware that Thomas shares in this episode about getting a bone biopsy without sedation (minutes 13:34-15:50).
