Re: Bobbie - Re: SECOND TIME AROUND

Thank you ,

My TSH has been fine for all these years, suppressed to about .01 or .02

without any change, even now.

My thyrogoblin has been good---last was .9 --- I was told that was good.

I am told that the RAI will be much lower this time. I see the oncologist

on Fri the 21 and will know more.

My mass is only 6mm. My doc thinks it is lymph. I have not had the scan,

yet.

Yes, I know about the iodine. But, a few people have told me their docs

said it was not necessarry. How can that be? I was on no iodine the first

time too.

Reading everyone's troubles has helped me look at the big picture and stop

my

whining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read that the RAI treatments can cause colon and bladder cancer. Have you

read that also? Known any thyroid cancer survivors that had to deal with

that next?

I feel better already today. It does help to share. It was so dumb of me

to think I was cured all these years.......

I also had radiation as a 3 or 4 year old. Treatment in the 50's for a

tumor. That explains my cancer.

I guess we all die of something. Sooner or later. It overwhelmed me at

first. I am adjusting day by day. Although, I am procrastinating the hypo

for a month or so.

I am not ready yet.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with this again.

I don't think the 100 mCi you had 10 years ago was overkill, and the fact

that you have a recurrence proves it.
