Good News

My GP's nurse called this morning.
She had the results from a thyroglobulin test my doctor ran. I didn't know he tucked it into the list of tests he ran.

It came back at 0.02!!!!!

Which means my thyroid is pretty much croaked, dead, pushing up daisies, non-functioning.

I didn't ask if he ran a TGab test at the same time. :-/

I don't care. It's dead.
I think...

Now, why couldn't the Endo do that?
Because she doesn't care.

I feel worn out from this morning's activity.

I feel GREAT knowing it is D E A D. Gone. Nuked.

The Endo said "If it doesn't work we can do it again in a year" when she gave me the RAI.

The surgeon said "if it doesn't work come back in a year and I'll operate".

Well, aparently it worked, and I am thrilled to not have to decide between living with 10% functioning or do RAI again.

That is behind me.

Now it's just a matter of getting my meds correct and healing up so I can get on with life.

Maybe we should resume the thyroid pub and I'll buy a round for everyone celebrating the demise AR's thyroid!!!  I like the New Orleans style funerals. Maybe we can adapt the pub in what is true thyroidian style, and have a send off fitting that gland that gave AR such a fit!...

K, so if someone just logged into this forum right now and read the above, they'd think we, but most of all *I*, am just plain CRAZY!    K, so maybe sometimes I am, (but usually just when I'm off the meds).....lol

Cheers to you AR!  Hope this is just the start of total healing for you.

Hugs,
Pennie
