Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 Hi , Get the book " the thyroid sourcebook " , it helped me immensely. I completely understand as I am in a similar situation, pt on 5/01, tt on 6/0, diagnosed 6/01 and just completed the first RAI over Labor Day weekend. I am still in " hypo hell " as I just started back on synthroid a few days ago, but I have high hopes for this week. I am only a couple of months ahead of you. I am new to this group too and it appears to be full of really knowledgeable, supportive people. Best of luck to you!! Hi Hi, My name is and I was just diagnosed with thyroid Cancer...I found out it was cancer when they removed my thyroid on August 27th 2001..It wasn't up until then that anyone had even really mentioned it...just to say oh, there is only small chance don't worry...Yeah, well, I knew before the operation that it cancer. I'm not sure how but I did... Everyone keeps telling me I should get mad..Yell, scream...but, why? I am going to put my strength and energy into getting over this and getting on with my life whatever I have to do.... Yes, I am scared to death..My family is being very supportive..but, I can't talk to them they are scared too..We are looking for answers together and will fight this together but, right now....I am scared and don't know what to do next.....I have all my appointments set up the first appointment since surgery with the Endocrinologist on the 18th..blood work on the 10-11-01 then into the hospital on the 10-15- 01 for the RAI..but, I don't know what to expect or where to go after that....or what to do to keep it from coming back.... Sorry about going on the way I did... Toler... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 - I had the same rude awakening after thyroid surgery. Went into the operation believing it was for the removal of a non-cancerous tumor. Woke up afterward to diagnosis of thyca and that two malignant tumors were removed from my neck. Hang in there, and think positive. That might be a strange concept right now, but it's worked for me. The statistics show an amazingly good cure rate for a very scary disease. I've done a lot of soul-searchinging in the last few months (TT operation was July 17, 2001). I have decided to start living and not just existing, like I had been doing. If you get bummed out, the group is here for you! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 Hi , I see you've already received some good info regarding your thyroid cancer. I am just sending this little note to let you know you sound like a strong young lady and I feel you will be able to handle this just fine. Don't be scared, you will adjust, your family will adjust. I think the key is question, question, question. Good luck. lindalee@... dx 12-96 follicular w/ bone mets 4 RAI= 840mCi 300mcg Synthroid HPTH Pgh., Pa bryna53@... wrote: > > > Hi, > > My name is and I was just diagnosed with thyroid Cancer...I > found out it was cancer when they removed my thyroid on August 27th > 2001..It wasn't up until then that anyone had even really mentioned > it...just to say oh, there is only small chance don't worry...Yeah, > well, I knew before the operation that it cancer.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 , Don't apologize. It is a big shock to wake up and find out that what was removed was cancer. The same thing happened to me in March. Everyone said no beforehand but I knew it was cancer and had done tons of research before the surgery. You will find lots of company on this website. It takes awhile to get over the shock and focus on the future. Hang in there it gets a little easier with time. Debbi TT 3/7, 102.7 mci's RAI 4/26, going hypo again starting 10/6, scan again in Nov. Hopefully no more RAI Hi Hi, My name is and I was just diagnosed with thyroid Cancer...I found out it was cancer when they removed my thyroid on August 27th 2001..It wasn't up until then that anyone had even really mentioned it...just to say oh, there is only small chance don't worry...Yeah, well, I knew before the operation that it cancer.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Well I had my first radiation treatment today it took a whole 40 min.The next one the doctor told me it will probably a whole 5 min.So I drive 52 miles to and from which takes about 45 min to get there and back for 5 min of treatment every day for 5 wks. But I guess it could be worse.I am only glad that the chemo is over and my hair is growing back...Is it true that after a few treatments of radiation you get tired alot? I was tired the whole time I was on chemo and I figured that radiation would be different.Any advice appreciated...

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 I had seven weeks of radiation. I got tired about the middle two weeks but felt great before and after those two weeks. Eat plenty of good food, drink lots of water, and let yourself sleep when you're tired. I worked throughout the radiation, taking my lunch hour and the hour before for the treatment and to eat a good lunch at the local Furr's cafeteria. Good luck. You may want someone to drive you when you're tired.
