"there were no major findings. we will discuss some additional tests at your f/u visit in 2 weeks. thanks. Dr C."
Well, that reply seems to be worse than not finding out anything until my appt 2 weeks from now! It could still go either way, but the part about more tests is what worries me. And what's with the no major findings? Does that mean nothing showed up at all? Ugh! Then again, I guess it wouldn't be good form to be told over email that your cancer spread to other parts of your body, or perhaps that the RAI didn't work at all. Viv said she'd go with me to my appt. My mom will most likely want to come as well - the more support I have the better, esp if it is not so good news.
So, I guess all I can do is sit tight for the next two weeks. Holy smokes! - what kind of pain does my dad have to go through now so that I don't have to stress out over this for the next two weeks? He's already had the two worst health scares possible - heart bypass, minor stroke - on my behalf, so it seems. Hopefully nothing will affect him this time, or ever again. I don't think he could take any other health problems right now anyway. I know I couldn't.
I also have a ThyCa meeting this Thursday, so hopefully they can give me some insight into the cryptic response from my ENDO. I can feel a melt down coming on...
Important stuff, whether good or bad, is best done in person. It's hard enough to ensure good communication is done in person, let alone via email or the phone. Sounds positive so far, since they did not feel the need to call you in sooner.
