💌 Dear followers,

I hope this message finds you all in good health and high spirits. Today, I wanted to take a moment to address a recent comment I received from a caring and observant commenter regarding a lump on my neck. I truly appreciate the concern and thoughtfulness that went into bringing this to my attention, and I want to assure you all that there is no cause for alarm.

The lump in question is called a goiter. For those who may not be familiar, a goiter is a swelling or enlargement of the thyroid gland, which is located in the neck. It can occur due to various reasons, such as an iodine deficiency or an underlying thyroid condition. In my case, I have consulted with an endocrinologist, who has confirmed that my goiter is benign and poses no risk of cancer. I want to emphasize that it is purely a cosmetic issue and does not cause me any pain or discomfort.

You may have noticed that the goiter appears larger now, and that is because I have recently lost some weight. Weight loss can sometimes accentuate the visibility of a goiter, but rest assured, it does not impact my overall well-being. While I do acknowledge that it may not be the most aesthetically pleasing feature, I have come to accept and embrace it as a part of who I am. After all, true beauty lies within, and I am grateful for the love and support I receive from all of you, which far outweighs any physical imperfections.

I wanted to share this with all of you to provide clarity and reassurance. Your concern means the world to me, and I am touched by the genuine care you have shown. Please know that I am perfectly fine and that your continued love and support are what truly matter. Together, we can celebrate our uniqueness and spread positivity in this digital community.

With all my love and gratitude,

Cathie ❤️
