First Body Scan Results

[Guest guest]

Hi Friends...

I just wanted to share my good news with you all. I just found out that my

scan came back, well, for the most part, " clean " . There was some uptake in

my neck, but the endo is not worried at this point because he feels that it

was just my salivary glands. My Tg came back at 0. He says that hopefully

my next scan should be better with no uptake. He will not see me again until

June and he will check my levels then. I couldn't think when I had him on

the phone, but I had some questions I wanted to ask, but I think he was a bit

annoyed because I have been calling everyday since Wednesday of last week. I

was also told that all my results and reports would be to them by Tuesday. I

guess I should not have been so pushy, huh? I wanted to ask him why am I so

tired? Especially when I didn't go hypo for my scan, used Thyrogen. I think

this concerns me because I have heard many of you say that the Thyrogen scans

are not as accurate as going hypo and with this being my first scan other

than a week after my RAI, that there was uptake in my neck and he says he is

not too concerned about it at this point. I guess I'm just a bit worried

that the scan was not accurate. I guess I just overly paranoid right now, I

don't know? Well, I must get going. Have lots to do and I'm having trouble

staying awake now. Talk with you all soon!!

Hugs to all,

land
