Awe man. I was told the other day that my thyroid is working well within normal levels. So I'm really hoping we only have to take out half.I had the choice of having full thyroidectomy or only half. I choose to do full, as my thyroid was not working the way it should prior to having nodules. I did not want to have the remaining half left to mess with the medication and have to keep adjusting because the other half was still there. Also, if cancer was found, they would have had to take the remaining half out anyway and endocrinologist was betting on cancer. Well, he got that wrong as well as my being diabetic! And, by the time I had surgery, he had left the practice. Grr.
Are you ok?OMG……
Sorry to hear that. I hope you start feeling better soon.Well that little cold I had landed me in the er and then overnight in the hospital. I woke up not being able to breathe well Sat. at 3am.
Ds drove me to the hospital and Dh followed.
They gave me iv steroids and breathing treatments. Tested for 17 viruses - nothing.
Saw nodules on the ct scan in lungs so now my pcp who I saw yesterday will talk to endo about a follow up ct or pet scan. Could just be viral reaction. Also saw 2 swollen mammary lymph nodes so go get a mammogram she said. Always something,
Thanksgiving Blessings to all.
Wishing you all the bestSmall update: I'm seeing a Dr. at Manitoba Cancer Care on Friday.
Hope things go well Heather, and that this is a Doctor who will be a better fit.
I have my annual ultra sound and blood work next week, as well as an appt. with my Endo. on January 3rd. Not expecting any surprises, but always a little anxious to get the results. My Mom had a relapse of her Breast Cancer last spring (stage 4) and my Aunt who had Thyroid Cancer 30 years ago had a relapse and then another kind of cancer that she died from. This is the reason I try to keep on top of things and make sure to go annually to visit my Endo.
Anyway, I hope all of you have a wonderful Holiday Season and enjoy time with your families!
