I was reading on the internet this evening that President Cristina Fernandez, of Argentina, was recently diagnosed with Thyroid cancer and will undergo surgery next month. I also learned that the first drugs to treat Medullary thyroid cancer, two kinase inhibitors, have been approved. So amid all the people that are being diagnosed with thyroid cancer this year, medical break-throughs are still happening.
I still feel very lucky to have had a clean 1-yr WBS and undetectable stimulated Tg/TgAB. I still worry about it every time I miss my daily Levoxyl or afternoon T3 - How much am I exposing myself to elevated TSH? What if there are any cancer cells that are still roaming around in my blood stream that have had the opportunity to 'wake up' and grow every time I have missed one of my pills? I know, I need to stop worrying, and just make sure to take my pills on time.
