How does my neck look? 4/9/11

I thought I'd never see the day when my FT4 was within range, but today is the day! My blood draw was Tuesday afternoon. I've been sick since Thursday, so I haven't been checking to see if my ENDO posted my levels online until now. So unless my labs got mixed up with someone else's who has ThyCa (because my TSH is lower than usual), my FT4 is 1.0 (range 0.7 - 1.5), but my TSH is <.01 (range for ThyCans 0.1 - 0.5). To celebrate, I thought I'd post a neck photo so you can tell me how the neck of someone who's FT4 is finally in range looks like!

 

In case you were wondering what my FT4 and TSH levels have been, since my surgeries and RAI last year, here's my blood draw history:

04/05/11              Free T4 1.0 ng/dl0.7-1.5                  TSH <0.01 uIU/ml0.35-5.50

02/07/11              Free T4 1.7 ng/dl0.7-1.5                  TSH 0.01 uIU/ml0.35-5.50

12/03/10              Free T4 1.8 ng/dl0.7-1.5                  TSH 0.01 uIU/ml0.35-5.50

11/05/10              Free T4 1.9 ng/dl0.7-1.5                  TSH <0.01 uIU/ml0.35-5.50

10/05/10              Free T4 1.6 ng/dl0.7-1.5                  TSH 0.01 uIU/ml0.35-5.50

08/10/10              Free T4 1.63 ng/dl0.51-1.20           TSH 0.25 uIU/ml0.34-4.82

06/29/10              TSH 67.44 uIU/ml0.34-4.82 (Taken before RAI, to make sure it was over 30)

*NOTE: TSH for ThyCans has to be below 1.0, as the goal is to suppress the TSH so we are borderline hyperthyroid, making it hard for any thyroid cells, cancerous or not, to create Tg, which is the thyroid cancer tumor marker.
