Almost one year following the radioactive iodine treatment - and a year and two month after the total thyroidectomy - I had the follow up tests. Neck ultrasound, Thyrogen injections early last week and blood tests at the end of the week. The result are in - no trace of thyroid. Cancer free one year and counting!
For those of you that might have pinned this blog from Pinterest: I assume you did so because you may be facing thyroid cancer. I have to say that I feel so much better after having the surgery and even going through the LID and RAI treatments. I didn't realize how bad I felt until I was put on the steady dose of thyroid hormone - and began to feel good! I was told that I probably had the cancer for five years. No wonder I feel better! It seems so daunting as you are going through the treatment - and the LID and radioactive iodine treatment is scary, but it's all so worth it in the end. Feeling great and peace of mind. Stay strong and hang in there!
