Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 My daughter is using Dr. Bill Lydiatt, at the U of Nebr Medical Center is Omaha. We've been very pleased with him (and his staff), plus he has actually had thyroid cancer himself, so is aware of what it's like to be on the " other " side. I'm new I'm rather new to this. Does anyone know any good doctors for thyroid cancer in the Midwest? Omaha, Lincoln, or Kansas City? I'm not real pleased with the one I have. Also, if thyroid cancer recurs, what are the signs? Where do I find info on this? Thanks. For more information regarding thyroid cancer visit www.thyca.org.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hi everyone, this is my first time on. I just want to introduce myself. My name is and I was just diagnosed with IgAn about a month ago, I've since then started on B'P meds, iron pills, persantine, etc. My grandma, who has breast cancer, saw my pill planner the other day and said it looked alot like hers. I am only 30 years old, and I'm little frustrated because I'm so tired all the time. Lee, the nurse practitioner, is working on getting me pre- approved through insurance for this rion/epo shot. I hope it comes through soon. I ama registered nurse doing home health case managing stuff and I am finding it hard to make it through a full day's work. The worst part so far, is being tired all the time. That, and we'd been trying to start a family for 2 years before all this happened and now the doctor is telling us we shouldn't get pregnant at least until I am on dialysis. The good news is that he anticipates this happening in one to two years. The bad news i s that he sees this happening in 1-2 years, and I am so not looking forward to the lifestyle upset of dialysis. I had asked the doctor if I needed to let him know if I got sick, and he says yes. Right now I have a fever of 99.4 and have become a bottomless pit of snot. HaHa! But I feel like that is hardly enough fever to call him about. EXCEPT that mu urine is tea-colored. I read that the first signs of hematuria and kidney problems is coffee-colored urine. I wouldn't exactly call it coffeee-colored, bu tea-colored. I am thinking this is a bad sign, but I don't know what Dr. O could do about it even if it is hematuria. I guess I mostly just want someone to osay hi to me. My husband said I was in denial because he's done more research on the internet than I have. He's signed me and himself up for the group, but this is the first time I've written in. I go from being ok and dealing with it to sad and tearful. I guess that's normal too. I told the doctor that if I'd had this kind of luck with the lottery, I'd really be doing all right. He agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
