About Me: Male, 41, Auckland - New Zealand, member since Apr 2007
Work full time and am a joinery estimator.  

I was healthy until my
... [More] 40th birthday - literally, when I had my TT surgery...

I had TT surgery on the 31st May 07. Results from pathology showed that the larger nodule was benign follicular adenoma ( 35mm diameter), while the smaller nodule was a papillary 5mm cancer. The cancer was a small 5mm pap cancer with 2 other pap carcinoma on the other lobe, the largest being 3mm. The thyroid cancer was multi-focal.
Tg <1

Reluctantly I had RAI 1000Mbq  (27mci) on the 14th Feb, 08
Tg  3.0 (un-surpressed)

Blood pressure is now 150/100.  Doctors say I have white coat hypertension.

17 Mar 08
Free T4: 18.2
TSH 2.6


2 April 08
Free T4: 15.7
TSH : 2.7


Latest Thyroid Test.. 21st May
TSH = 0.72 ( 0.4- 4.0)
FT4 = 19 ( 9-19)

I'm currently on 165mg levothyroxine up from 150mg 4 weeks ago..
