The Phone Call

So Jeff and I are sitting there after making little piggies of ourselves on the BBQ. It's about 6:30pm and we are sitting there working on clearing out our DVR of Japanese game shows and my phone rings. Ring ring...ring ring...it's Dr. Blevings. Okay, well here we go, he's gotten results from the scan. Good or bad...here we go.

He did in fact have the results. The scan some uptake in the median of the neck where it is expected to be, basically where the thyroid used to be and NO WHERE ELSE!

w00t!

Where do we go from here? I have my next appointment with the endo in July. Until then, keep on keepin' on. Keep taking my Synthroid, if I find that I'm getting too tired or having other hypo or hyper type symptoms to give him a call. We'll discuss further scans and such at the next appointment but for now we have kicked the cancer to the curb and told it it's not welcome here.

(rabble-rabble) LOL!

This is what a full body scan looks like. This is NOT my scan. I hope to get a copy of it because I think they are so cool. And I've also tossed in the neck section that shows the butterfly "glow" LOL!!!

Interestingly enough the neck scan comes from a woman that suffered(s) from Hashimotos Disease. But looks like a butterfly doesn't it. And that's why the butterfly is the "mascot" for thyroid cancer/diseases.

As I sit and ponder all that has past it has been a sort of wild ride for the past 30 days. Surgery March 29, to treatment and a clean scan by April 29.

Or if you want to look even further back:

Biopsy January 26

Diagnosis January 27

Surgery March 29

Scan & "Done" April 29
