Thyroid Cancer

[Toby2009]

Hello all,
RODEO is here... I talked a few things over with Utah Momma and she said there is a good chance that the lesion on my lung COULD indeed be scar tissue from the last RAI treatment. I HOPE!!! Now back to the lymph nodes.. I still have some Tg in my body around 1.6-2... A month ago.. The dr did the CT scan and found the 4mm Lesion. ANd two biopsies (HURT LIKE HELL) After having scar tissue in there!! They came back with over 3 TG inside the node what ever that means. So I say surgery AGAIN for number three, or a BIG *** does of RAI! Sorry for the laung!!! What a trip it has been. I was hopeing this year 2009 would give me a little rest but noooooooo. So I am on the lets wait and see in three months if the lung tumor is growing or not and then check the nodes in three months?? Who knows I am just sick of it. Plain sick. Wish I had some good news. I guess the hurry up freak, wait, take some more anxiety pills, will have to work till I can see a live DR. Waiting just to get my hands on my results is a joke! Dr has them but I have to drive 50 miles just to get them! Oh yeah I am mad.. BUT it can always be worse!!! The fear of the unknows is a wasted emotion I wish I did not have!!! Hugs to all.. I guess he could of said you are full of cacner you got two day to live! I totally feel sorry for all people who get this ugly diease and all those who are fighting worse things than myself, I know there are many. Chin up and move forward!!! All you can do and to anyone reading this just diagnosed- EDUCATE YOURSELF, ASK MANY MANY guestions!!! Love to all!!!

I hear ya! I am about to ake up smoking drinking and who knows waht else. This can drive you crazy.. Dr called I talked to him on the phone a good 20 mins. He told me the lesion DID Not look to be a cancerous one but to only keep an eye onn it is a good idea. The nodes in my neck are to be looked at in three months as well he is just not convinced at this point!! He said to much cutting and RAI to fast will do more harm than good and that waiting is not hurting anything. My TG is Just not high enough to correspond to the tumor on my lung he told me. 1.8 Last check... I am sure there is still cancer in me but it is a hurry up and wait!!! So I think after my freak out I should be just fine! He said not to worry. OKAY! RIGHT! So for now I am just going to take care of myself and wait out the three months to freak out again! Any GOOD candles? I am sick of the salt city ones... Need a new one!!!

RodeoToby ..... it's good to VENT and you are right .... it can be much worse, but where you are NOW YOU are dealing with it and it is just as important as anybody else on this or any other community and we are telling you it is okay to feel this way while you are in a wait and see holding pattern .....................

Candles .. that works wonders for me as a stressbuster.
