Tg/TgAB results: Holy crap! I wasn't expecting to hear anything until next week. Relieved it wasn't my ENDO who called because he only delivers bad news. Both are undetectable! Yay!


My ENDO says this is a good sign of remission. I don't know if this also means I am now in the 'no evidence of disease' (NED) category or not, but I will ask at my appt next month.

I think now I can safely say that I have survived thyroid cancer. I rejoice, but I still wonder if this is something I really want to say, that "I survived it" when I know it can come back. You survive car accidents or horrible disasters, but you don't expect the same exact accident or disaster to happen to you again. All cancers can come back, and they normally come back with a vengeance. For now, I feel good knowing that a year later, I made the right decision to have my left thyroid lobe removed and that the subsequent treatments were successful. Yay!!!
