My dose was 150. I am not as 'in heaven' foodwise as I had anticipated because I have a bit of a funny taste in my mouth.
Mari doesn't have cancer though so no reason for her to be scared.
Not scared! Saw the endo today. He felt like although there are "tons" of nodules (his words) on the thyroid, there is only 1 large enough to even be slightly concerned. So, he's not ordering a biopsy now. He said all that would tell him would be whether to take it out or not, and it's coming out!
I left today with
1. Instructions to make an appointment with surgeon. I'm going to use Dr. Pezzi at Abington in the Phila suburbs. I suppose the chance of anyone being familiar with him is slim, but who knows. I called already and he can't see me til 1/26, but I'm ok with that.
2. Order for bloodword now that I have been on the tapazole for a few weeks. Got it done as soon as I left the endo. I'm supposed to call Monday to see if he wants to change the dose.
3. Prescription for "something" iodine (begins with an L I think) to take 5 drops 3 times a day for 10 days leading up to the surgery. Anyone know what this is?
4. Prescription for synthroid (it says .125 g, but I can't read how many times a day. Anyone know the usual? Just curious. Obiously this is for after the surgery.)
5. Order for bloodwork after the surgery (various TSH, etc.)
6. Call and make follow up appointment for 6 weeks after surgery unless calcium gets whacky in the hospital.
I know no one wants that detail, but I'm trying to organize my thoughts.
Thanks to all who have offered support!
