Thank you so much.
Papillary thryoid cancer
Jun 12, 2013 in the Thyroid Disorders Community - 4
My FT4 range is .75 - 1.46, I see the nuclear doctor at the hospital for annual follow-ups in my case - no endo in my area and my GP will not get involved and even do labs. The nuclear dr. does not test for FT3, just FT4 and TSH, and then the antibodies after the scan. I am still on my meds but am scheduled to have 3 thyrogen injections next week prior ...
Papillary thryoid cancer
Jun 11, 2013 in the Thyroid Disorders Community - 4
I am 60 year old female and had a TT in 2008 after being diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer.

I am scheduled to have a low radiation scan next week to check on the status of the cancer. My energy level has dropped s...
Follicular Tumor
Nov 15, 2010 in the Thyroid Disorders Community - 7
I had a cold thyroid nodule found in 2001. FNB was negative. This nodule grew slightly and additional nodules found in 2008. TT performed in 2008 and was told it all looked good after surgery. Went in to have stitches removed and found out pathology said (a week after TT) I had papillary thryoid cancer - two small specks on the gland itself, but the n...
Thyroid Nodule Biopsy Diagnosis
Jul 09, 2010 in the Thyroid Disorders Community - 3
I have had two biopsies on a cold nodule, 10 years apart, and both came back negative. The nodule multiplied, still negative biopsy. Decided to have TT, and two spots of papillary cancer was found on the lobes - not any of the nodules. I don't think there is a 100% certainty of most things.
Low Vitamin D, Low Bicarbonate, High Albumin
Jul 09, 2010 in the Thyroid Disorders Community - 290
I have papillary thryoid cancer, TT in 2008. I have had low Vitamin D (23) ever since and take a supplement, but none of the drs. think it has anything to do with the cancer.
When to retest thyroid?
Jul 09, 2010 in the Thyroid Disorders Community - 148
I have papillary thryoid cancer, and my dr. waits 8 weeks, which works for me. I notice additional changes after 4 weeks, so altho I was hesitant to wait longer it works in my case.
Effexor Withdrawal
Sep 11, 2009 in the Ask a Pharmacist Expert Forum - 2
I was on Effexor ER for approx. 10 years, and with my doctor's help have been weaning myself off since November, 2008. I followed the dr.'s advice for slow reduction and finally stopped taking Effexor ER the end of August. I had a few withdrawal symptoms, but this week I can no longer sleep. I am extremely restless and just walk and pace until...
