WBS results!

ENDO says....results from my WBS were successful. However, there were signs of uptake in my chest, not definitive, so I will be scheduled for a CT scan. He said a lot of ThyCa patients have this type of uptake in their chest area and most of the time it is nothing, but the Radiology department could not say for sure that it was not of concern, hence the CT scan. Waiting to see when my CT scan will be scheduled.

My ENDO said I just need to "believe the science", which Viv later said he was talking about the law of averages. Sorry, but I don't think my averages have been so great since my thyroid issue was detected last November. Sure I had a 50% chance of my HC neoplasm being benign or malignant (but it's found mostly in people over 45 (I'm 40), and it's not a very common thyca (3-10% of all differentiated thycas)), and how about my three little PC foci on the right side?!? Viv says that makes me "special." Argh! I don't want to look at my situation this way, but the odds have not been in my favor so far. He also said something similar regarding my FNA biopsy results back in February - 'inconclusive, but you should see an ENT to have it removed to make sure it isn't cancer.' I'm just saying......that I hope this is not a pattern for him.

Anyway, I was supposed to have my blood work done a few days before my appt, so he couldn't tell me if my meds are at the correct level or not. I had my blood drawn a few hours ago (Free T4, TSH, Tg), so they should have the results later this afternoon. If necessary, he'll tweak my dosage a little. If the CT scan results are clear, then my follow up appt is in December (with another round of blood work before that appt), and another round of RAI at the one year mark.

He said I'll get the tingling sensation in my neck for about six months, that it looked like it was healing well. He also said I should be Ok to go back to work on September 1st. Yay!
