Alyssa ] T3/T4 combo treatment

[Guest guest]

Alyssa,

I find your doctors statement very curious. I was on T4/T3 dosing for

30 years. All during that time I had dormant lung mets(still do).

There was no encouragement or spread of thyca from the dosing. One

would think in that amount of time something would have happened based

on his statement! Honestly, I had less trouble maintaining suppression

on T4/73 than I do on just T4.
