Guest guest Posted January 6, 2002 Report Share Posted January 6, 2002 Hi, Amy - I was away from my computer for several days and am trying to catch up now. I didn't notice any responses to your letter from last week, so I'll take a stab at it. First of all, I'm so impressed that your doctor recommended the thyca.org website! So many doctors scoff at patients who get information via the internet. Were your thyroglobulin tests done while you were hypo, or only suppressed? This makes a big difference. If you haven't had a hypo Tg test, then I would recommend doing that before anything else; chances are the number will rise dramatically. What were your RAI doses the last two times? The presence of Tg indicates the presence of thyroid tissue. There have been many people on this list over the years who agreed to " just watch " a relatively low Tg, and then went hypo and found the number to be quite high, requiring more treatment than they would have needed to get rid of it in the first place. Your doctor is right - it could come back to haunt you in 50 years; it could also come back to haunt you in 20 years, or 10, or 5. If it were me, I would get rid of it now. - NYC (TT 2/99 dx pap/foll; RAI 100 mCi 3/99 & 4/00; current TSH ~.06 on .225 levothyroxine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Welcome , Glad to hear that your sister referred you to a good doctor who dx your thyca. I assure you, you do have a mind. Hasn't your doctor given you instructions on what to do? You will need to go off of your thyroxine replacement and reach a TSH of greater than 30 before the scan. Cytomel makes the transition for some a little more tolerable. YMMV (your mileage may vary) and until you try it, you won't know. This should all be done under your doctor's guidance and s/he should have given you instructions to follow. The LID diet for one to two weeks before scanning is added insurance for a good scan resullt. It makes the thyroid cells thirsty for the RAI. Ask questions as they come to mind. Folks here have a wealth of knowledge about thyca. from OH ===== Mail to: grammyDx2@... 1965 TT P/F thyca w/lymph mets, Hypoparathyroidism 1982 RAI for neck & chest mets 09/10/01 Cean scan PTL~! __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Hi , Doing some catchup myself now... The last couple of my thyroglobulin tests have been done while I was suppressed. I didn't realize there was a difference, so I'll have to ask my endo about that. I also need to go back and look at what my RAI doses were, since it's been so long. Thanks for the prod to do so! Also, upon re-reading my earlier message, I realize it could be interpreted as possibly disrespecting my endo. I don't want to give that impression -- he's been great!

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Hi , Thank you so much for writing me back. I don't have a clue of what I am doing. I feel really stupid but I don't even know what a LID diet is. Where can I get all this information on the diet. I will call my doctor or E-Mail him and try to find out what I need to do. You don't know how much it means to me to me to be able to talk about this with someone that knows what I'm going through. Is it normal to have really bad mood swings, to where you just can't get alone with anyone. I don't want to bother you a lot right off, I hope to talk to you again soon. --- wrote: > Welcome , > > Glad to hear that your sister referred you to a good > doctor who dx your > thyca.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Hi, , Welcome! You will find so much help in this group. I am confused about the timing of your RAI. Did you have an ablative dose in the Fall? Why are you having another RAI treatment so soon? You will find that it is important to keep records of your treatment. Dates and number of millicuries of each RAI, TSH levels and any thyroglobulin (tg) levels. You can ask your MD's office staff to give you copies of lab reports, radiology reports and even the final summaries from your surgeries. Keep them in a notebook so they are handy. (Easy for me to say, I did not start collecting this info until 10 years after Vern's first thyca diagnosis.) Take a deep breath, know that you are among friends, and ask any and every question that occurs to you. Good luck, Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Hi, - Briefly LID is a low iodine diet, which is generally recommended for the 2 weeks before RAI scanning and/or treatment. The idea is to deplete your body of as much iodine as possible so that your thyroid cells will be " hungry " for the radioactive iodine (RAI). Mood swings are very common during thyroid cancer treatment. First of all, you have been going through a lot in the past months, digesting your diagnosis and trying to educate yourself on the protocol. Additionally, your hormones are in fluctuation. Between the time your thyroid gland was removed and the time you began taking T4 (Synthroid, etc.), you were functioning without any thyroid hormone at all, and it generally takes weeks if not months for your levels to get to the proper level. A good web site for some basic, easy to understand information about thyroid cancer is http://www.focusoncancer.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=495 - NYC (TT 2/99 dx pap/foll; RAI 100 mCi 3/99 & 4/00) (translations: total thyroidectomy, diagnoses papillary/follicular thyroid cancer, radioactive iodine treatment twice) virginia ferrell wrote: > Hi , Thank you so much for writing me back.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Hi , is affectionately known around here as the LID lady...or maybe I just made it up... Regardless, she can tell you everything you always wanted to know about the LID. She has amassed a valuable resource for the diet, including recipes, etc. PLease dont feel stupid for not knowing what the LID is. I never heard of LID before joining this group last Spring. and others here helped me through my hypo-LID experience. The mood swings are also common, as has said. Hang in there and ask away. The only question that is stupid is the one that isn't asked. in OH ===== Mail to: grammyDx2@... 1965 TT P/F thyca w/lymph mets, Hypoparathyroidism 1982 RAI for neck & chest mets 09/10/01 Cean scan PTL~! __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Just wanted to say hello and tell you all that while I have joined this list and purchased the SBD book (and the Good Carb book), I'm not sure if I will be following it or staying with a more Atkins-like eating plan. The reason is because I am a type 2 diabetic, very well controlled with a low to moderate carb intake. Until I read the book and learn more, I won't know how this plan will affect my blood glucose readings. I don't lose weight on low carb, although I need to. This is the reason I am checking out the SBD -- it also addresses the fats issue. Unfortunately although some carbs are better than others, when looking at the glycemic index, that doesn't always translate into a slower increase in blood glucose in my body, nor does it mean there isn't a higher spike. I work hard to keep my BG under 140 most of the time, because it is the spikes (and how long they hang around) that begin to cause problems in a diabetic (all those nasty things). Is anyone else a diabetic? Or insulin resistant, diagnosed? I have plenty of insulin; it just doesn't work like it should, which adds to the weight problem. :-( I weigh about 260, and am 5'6 " tall. I need to get down to 160, which is a good weight for me due to my heavy bones (per bone density tests) and my large breasts (which never shrink, no matter how much weight I lose). Thanks for listening. Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Cheryl - my dad is diabetic, and he's done very well on SBD, His diabetes is due to weight, and he's lost more than half of what he needs to so far. I went on SBD, because he's done so well (he's not a good dieter usually) and he's already said this will be a lifestyle for him. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hi Cheryl, I'm TOTALLY with you on the big bone, insulin resistant thing. I also am 5'6. When I was 13 I was the same Height, same bone density but weighed 160. I wore a size 10 and my teachers thought I was anorexic because they kept telling me I was to thin. Even my Doc told me that I needed to put on about 15 lbs. My current Doc recommended me to do the SBD because I was insulin resistant. I've been on the SBD for about 45 days and my BS is totally under control. I usually run between 79 and 95. There have been times when I've been down to 72, but that was first thing in the morning. There was twice when I was 140, but that was because I was stressed. Just remember that SBD is not Low carb or Low fat. ( hope this helps) Terri B.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Hi Cheryl, I am also a type2 diabetic. I was an Atkins -like lowcarber for along time before starting SBD. I also barely lost on lowcarb, but my blood sugar was great. I started SBD about 3 months ago and have lost 10 lbs. I know to some, this doesn't seem like much, but for someone like me who is diabetic and on meds which make weight loss next to impossible, it is a huge success. My last A1C was 5.4% so my doctor decreased my meds by half. All in all, I think this is a great, healthy plan for diabetics and one that you can stick with for a lifetime. Good luck to you. in Atlanta ----- Original Message ----- I'm not sure if I will be following it or stayingwith a more Atkins-like eating plan.
