    The THYROID Thread

    Happy New Year everyone. May 2015 be filled with good health and happenings for everyone. LMP, I am starting my radiation tomorrow on my pelivis. Kind of nervous despite knowing exactly what to expect. I just hate the lack of modesty and dignity in this cancer. I hate knowing everyday...

    Tis the Season for Shipping Frustration

    That is sad because UPS will reimburse them the cost of the items and shipping when they put in a claim. Did she tell them the sand is wet and lose in the box so it is impossible to ship back? Did she ask for a return label so they can pay for shipping back since they will be reimbursed by...

    The charge lasts weeks as long as you turn off the internet connection. I put mine in plane mode. I bring mine to the pool and my only fear is theft so I do tend to bring a paperback for those situations if they are public like at Disney. At POFQ I put it under a towel and believe it or not I...

    Merry Christmas everyone!!!! Singingmom, I dare you to just try the Kindle. I resisted for a long time and missed the smell of books for a very, very short period of time and then I was in love. I now will only buy a book if it is cheaper than the cost for the kindle version. Ang

    That was an interesting article. I can tell you though that not only thyroid cancer is minimalized by doctors so is cervical and uterine. Same stigma of if you have to get one this is the one to have. The ironic thing is I was told that with thyroid cancer and then after was told we need to...

    That is great that she is so understanding. Hopefully your surgery will go as simple as mine. I coud easily have gone back to work 2 days after as I had no side effects and my body healed very well. The surgeon I had would have let me too. lol The week off for radiation was another story...

    Tis the Season for Shipping Frustration

    If sending packages through the post office this year and printing labels at home beware the individual post offices are being extremely nit picky lately so even if that package is .1 of an ounce off they will charge the person you shipped it to an inflated rate for lack of proper postage. That...

    Tis the Season for Shipping Frustration

    Watch the delivery time on prime purchases when you make them and contact them if it is more than 2 day and it says it is at an amazon location for shipping. I don't know why some thing that are supposed to be prime are not sent for 2 day delivery but they will upgrade it if you call them on it.

    Tis the Season for Shipping Frustration

    Thankfully no package problems here. The problem in the last couple of years is these new cheaper methods of shipping they designed where UPS or Fedex takes it and hands it off to the post office. The tracking info online is very deceptive. It says sent to local post office for delivery but...

    Disney's ALL-STAR MUSIC RESORT Information & Questions

    They made it so you make your requests when you do online check in now. I do believe it asks what floor, then near transport, adjoining rooms and if you booked them together they will try and keep you together. Ask at check if they can tell you building and floor and if your near each other as...

    Is there a way for you to go to another hospital for the biopsy? I know some doctors do the biopsy in their clinics but can also use their hospital. They don't like us using other hospitals but if it gets you in faster then I would go where I could get in. My node is 9mm so 1mm under...

    You should have had an ultrasound at 6 months and 1 year post thyroidectomy especially with mestastasis to the lymph nodes along with thyroid tumor marker and tsh t3 and t4 blood work. I even had a WBS 6 months post and most doctors stopped doing that if ultrasound and bloodwork are good...

    Thanks for taking a packing break to write. How long was your lymph node swollen for? I notice I get them under my pits and in different places on my neck. This one has just been there for several months now. I don't think antibiotic is going to help since I am sure I got that in high doses...

    BranV, wow that would be so frustration to have an inconclusive diagnosis. I have read that spread means it went into and/or through the little section that connects both sides of the thyroid. I do hope Mayo can solve the puzzle and I hope it is in your favor. Mine was papillary tall cell...

    Hi LMP. Thanks for asking about me. Had my radical hysterectomy Monday. I have a heck of a time breathing after anesthesia so was in for two nights instead of one. I did find out that abdominal surgery hurts a million times more than thyroid, unfortunatly. Then again I had no pain with...
