My Oncology appnt
Ok here is the Nitty Griutty of what they are going to do about the thyroid Cancer.
1stof all my trip to Denver is being postponed till the end of February or so. I wanted to go there badly but Ill wait.
I have to have more blood work done on Thursday. They cant give me the Iodine Radiation Pill till my Thyroid levels have depleted. Should be 2 to 3 weeks. I then take the pill and go into the hospital for 2 4 days. They have to monitor the radiation that is being expelled from the body. I ll be toxic so cant be around anyone or pets.
this should kill any cancer cell that are lingering in my body.
They still think I have the lessof of all evils. Still dont have the pathology back from Gainesville.
I wont be able to work probably till June.

Carla,
Thanks for letting us know how things are going for you. A friend of mine had the same treatment over 10 years ago and did very well and is still fine today. She hated the days in the hospital without visitors though. We both worked in the same hospital back then and she wanted everyone to visit her.
Lora has been asking about you so I'll give her a call and let her know. Keep your spirits up.

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen
