Hi all,
It has been pretty much 12 months since I got my diagnosis and when I was told that I had Thyroid Cancer I never imagined to be where I am today. All I could think of is that I have cancer. A reality check provided by Lass and I guess an emergency realisation that generally speaking I am a positive person, soon got me out of “being scared mode”. A second hemi and neck dissection and RAI followed and I started being monitored at 3 month intervals in February this year. I just had my second follow up, this time with an Ultrasound and I have just been told that all is good and that I am now going to be monitored at 6 month intervals. On top of this, pending my latest blood results, my levothyroxine dose will be reduced so goodbye to over suppression and hello to a not so sweaty summer .
Just thought I'd share my elation with you all.

That's fabulous news Swichee!
I think I'm more pleased about the less sweaty summer for you than that everything looks good. Lol. I'm sitting here in shorts and t-shirt with a fan blowing on me, so def a bit jealous on that one! Lol
Enjoy it all. Really pleased for you!

Hey sus,
Could be.
When were your thyroid levels last checked and do you know what the numbers were?
Alternatively, could you be heading into the menopause?
