Hi everyone,

I just want to say I'm not sure if I can make it to Thi's wedding. I'm so sorry, Thi. I really wanted to come and celebrate your special day. However, I am going through health problems, and will need a lot of time off for surgery and recovery during August and September.

Four months ago, the doctor has discovered a lump protruding from my neck. After a series of tests and biopsies, it's been confirmed that I have a 4 cm lump on my right thyroid. The sample they've acquired was benign, but due to the size of the nodule, the results can't be assumed accurate. Given the size and uncertainty of the malignancy of the nodule, my entire right thyroid will be surgically removed. Further tests will be conducted to determine if the lump was cancerous. If so, additional surgery, radiation, etc may follow.

I feel extremely bad that I may not be able to attend the wedding. I hope you understand, Thi. I will come to the bachelorette party though. So see you girls soon!
