Today is the day I have been looking forward to for weeks. First of all I am going back on my thyroid medicine today. This is a biggie. I have been off of it since the 17th of May and it has culminated by me feeling pretty lousy the longer I have been off of it. [...]

What is thyroglobulin? Taken from Thyroid-Cancer.net
Thyroglobulin is a protein produced by normal thyroid tissue. It serves an important function in the synthesis of thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland. The level of thyroglobulin present in the body can be measured with blood tests. Thyroid cancer cells may continue to produce thyroglobulin, even after undergoing [...]
God, Can I Be Done Yet?

This is something else that has been on my mind lately. Have you ever heard a little child say this… “Can I be done yet?” Well, this little child is asking her Father if she can be done yet. I think the answer is “not yet, my child.”
I did have the full body scan today [...]
Not So Bad

It is me again updating the blog instead of Curt. My appointment went very easy and I am not in true quarantine quite yet.
All that happened today was I was taken back to the consultation room that I was in when I had my initial appointment with Dr. Boll. One of the techs gave me 7 [...]

Isaiah 40:30
They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
I was thinking of this verse a little bit earlier today and it occurred to me that an important part of it is the [...]
What A Diet!
Posted in Uncategorized on June 19, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I have decided not to recommend a no iodine/low sodium diet unless you are a person who likes deprivation. I suppose it is somewhat a healthy diet although going long term without iodine would not be healthy either.
A friend asked me recently what I would like to eat first after the diet ends. At first [...]
The Diet Begins

The premise for the low iodine diet is as follows. I am to receive a full body scan on the 25th of June. The scan detects thyroid cells only because of a diagnostic dose of radioactive iodine (I-131) that I will take the day before. Thyroid tissue relies on iodine to produce hormones. If you deprive [...]
Nothing To Worry About

I had a follow up appointment today with Dr. Noveroske after finding a “spot” on my right breast last week. He seems to think it was a cyst that had some sort of flare up, but nothing at all that I should be worried about. I am off the antibiotic that Dr. Ansari prescribed for [...]
Matthew Ward

Thanks to some friends at Trinity we were introduced to an amazing Christian artist by the name of Matthew Ward. His “My Redeemer” cd is absolutely amazing and inspires joyful worship of our great God. It honestly makes my heart sing along with him. I listen to it over and over again. Matthew is a [...]
Two Appointments

Last night I noticed a sore red spot on my right breast. When I touched it there seemed to be some sort of lump right under the skin. As a reminder the cancer I had was in my left breast.
I considered not calling Dr. Ansari because it just seemed so unlikely that it was something to [...]
