Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 I recieved my PET sacn results yesterday, & although I felt the thyca was back due to the positive tg anti, it still has thrown me through a loop!! There is a small area in the lower mid neck & a large area in the left suprclavicular are positive for metastices. My PCP had ordered the PET himself when my ENT & Thyca Specialist both wanted to wait. I thank God for my PCP!! He actually sat down & cryed with me when we went over the results. I Faxed copies of the results to both specialists. The ENT has ordered a CAT scan for next Friday @ our local Cancer hospital. The Thyca Specialist agrees with this & wants me to call him with the results. My thyca has most likely become resistant to iodine, since it has not shown up on my last three I131 scans. (The last one 2/01) If the area appears surgical, the they suggest surgery & a very high dose of I131 treatment to see if it will take. I just had MRND 11/00, when my ENT searched these areas & found nothing. How will he find it this time? I am so tired of this!!!!!!!!!! This will be my 3rd thyc surg & 8th surg in 7 yrs! 4 on my neck!! It also killing me that I have to tell my parents that it's back!! Both parents are getting old (79 & 86) & are very sick & fragel themselves. They don't need this added to their worries!! Sorry, I just needed to vent to people who understand. Thanks!!!
