Guest guest Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 , Thanks for responding to my dilemma. It's really interesting to hear from other people with the same problem, particularly as there doesn't seem to be a reasonable explanation. Have you had a hyst. to open your cavity? I wonder if the ultra sound just isn't detecting the AS - this has certainly been the case in the past. It's just that my consultant seems very confident that my cavity is still open. Thanks again for your story. I would be really interested to hear how you get on with the A list doc. It's also encouraging to hear that you managed to get pg with light periods - it shows it is possible and maybe I should just persevere! a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Opinions needed please. Hope all of you are doing well this fine Sunday. Ok, after the 1st mamo, they sent the doctor a " normal " report. The 1st sono showed a fluid filled cyst, the radiologist reported nothing appeared to be abnormal, no masses. When the surgeon aspirated the cyst, she was so sure that it was only a benign cyst, not to worry. Aspirated 20cc's of tan fluid. Then 2 days later the path report from the aspirate said " atypical cells highly suspicious for malignancy " , and " biopsy recommended " . Ok. To me highly suspicious still didn't mean I had breast cancer. Three days later DH and I go to surgeon's office, and she is shocked about the path report. DH asked her if this means I have BC, and she said I am afraid so, but we won't know anything else until after the biopsy " . So, the same day I have another mamo and sono. These reports both concluded " The findings are highly suspicious for malignancy, particularly given the hx of malignant cells within the aspirated fluid " . " Recommend lumpectomy " . So I had a lumpectomy on Thurs, but she didn't test any lymph nodes. She said she took out the 5 X 7 cm mass (not cyst), and plenty of surrounding tissue. Sent to pathology and margins came back clean. Which means they didn't see any cancer cells in the margins. She called me Fri and said that there were no malignant cells in the margins, that the final path report should be back by Fri.. So I went to the ER, where I am an RN, and printed out the report. The conclusion was " Intraductal hyperplasia with atypia. Definitive malignancy is not found in the current sections " . Good news? I hope so. Do I need a 2nd opinion? I have been reading this list since 1/14/06 when all this started. There are many intelligent women here, and I trust that ya'll will give me your opinions. I can talk to the surgeon tomorrow, but feel the need for some feedback today. Thank you so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Lynn, Veing an RN give you an advantage over us. If you are not comfortable with the report then I would get a second opinion. Some insurance companies prefer second opinions. Did she say why she didn't take any nodes? I know back when I had my surgery, in 1990, they didn't have sentinel node biopsies yet so I had 23 removed and one was malignant. I will keep you in my prayers. Please keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 >I'm now taking 150 mcg of Cynomel but my pulse averages 100 bpm. I tried taking some HC to see if it would help with my pulse (salt doesn't help). It lowers it a little but also lowers my temps. My temps stay at 98.1 or 98.2. My temps are higher without the HC but so is my pulse. > >I'm not sure what this means and am confused by it. Any insight is much appreciated! How much HC did you take?? if you take too little you can end up lowering the circulating levels, the " feedback loop " in the body shuts your own production down too much. A high pulse that does not respond to salt together with a low temperature says to me adrenaline being produced instead of cortisol. Supplement enough HC and then the T3 will get through, at that point temperature will come up and losing weight becomes possible. The HC won't cause the weight gain, the hypo will, and without enough HC you can't clear the hypo. Have you graphed average temperatures lately?? my guess is they will be unstable If you do decide to try a higher dose of HC then back off on the T3 for a day in case it's pooling, if that's happening then adding enough HC could send you hyper briefly as the pooled T3 gets through to the cells suddenly.
