There is no preparing the heart or mind for the unexpected. There is no way to do it because we never expect the unexpected to happen to us. Sure, we know it could but we are so surprised when it does. I certainly did not expect cancer to be connected with my name this year and even more surprised [...]

Curt and I are gloriously thankful people tonight and have the best news possible. As far as we know I am totally cancer free. After my total body scan this morning checking for any additional thyroid cancer cells Dr. Boll came in and reported none were found anywhere. We felt like we have been given [...]

The title is not what you think. I have misunderstood again is what I mean. Fancy that! I misread the paper they gave me on when I do what. It reads 12-8-08 Dose for I-131 Scan, 2 p.m. at Memorial Nuclear Medicine. What it really means is that I go in take a small dose of [...]

I just eeked by being a new face on America’s Most Wanted today. First some background…
I got up extra early to go downtown with Curt to an early morning appointment he had so I could then scoot over to Navarre/Dr. Ansari’s office to have my blood drawn. When I had my first appointment with Dr. [...]
Feeling Fine

I am five days into withdrawing from my thyroid medicine and am feeling fine. No complaints. I have a long way to go and know that as the time goes by I will become more tired and not feel like myself. Thankfully, when I am tired I can rest because I work with Curt out [...]

I made a call to my nuclear med Dr. last week to find out if I still need another I-131 treatment at the end of the year. I wanted to know because I noticed that my thyroglobulin level was much lower after having a blood test that was checking for that plus my T3 & T4 [...]
