Bummer, bummer, bummer....the "cancer level" (thyroglobulin) had doubled in the last 3 months...also the TSH level was all out of whack which is an indicator that there are thyroid cells trying to get busy in my system. So here is the plan. I am stopping thyroid replacement medication so that they can get the scans they need to see where the thyroid cells are in my body....and I will probably get another round of iodine treatment in about a month... I am sad that I have to be hypothyroid again. I felt sooo rough last year before the treatment but hopefully it won't be as bad since I am not recovering from a big surgery this time. I had a good visit with Dr Khan, she did an ultrasound of my neck and did not find any suspicious lymph nodes. Those darn cancer cells could be anywhere...and the scans that they do will hopefully show them right where they are.
Lee did his own school registration today while I was at the Dr. Says it went fine and that he didn't need my help at all....funny what a drivers license does for a kids maturity level!
