Update on the scan and other things

Well, the scan was rather uneventful on Monday for those of you wondering. They did the same scan that I did pre-radioactive treatment, and the folks at the hospital said that Dr. Crantz (or as Deb and I like to call him, "that doctor that I/you don't like") would interpret the results for me. But they did show Chris and I informally that really, all the scan was supposed to do was show that the treatment is working/still going on, and that is happening. So...I guess we did find that out, that it is working, the radioactive iodine is still eating the thyroid tissue that is left as well as the thyroid cancer cells left.

I'm more exhausted than ever, which is something I also have to address with "that doctor that I don't like." I have an appointment with him on Monday. I just hope that he doesn't tell me for the millionth time that "I'm lucky to have thyroid cancer" and "I won't die from it." Grrrr....

Fall is finally here in Northern Virginia, my favorite season. The weather is cool and the leaves are starting to turn. It's one of my favorite things about living here.

OK, off to work now....trying to stay awake and alert!

    What is the scan like? Are you in a tube like people getting catscans? How long does it take?

    Don't you HATE it when people tell you it's "the best kind of cancer to get"? UGH!

Quite a pay raise!

Today I received a press alert via email from my alma mater, Oklahoma State. Check out the first two paragraphs below: Following only the sixth nine-win regular season in school history, Oklahoma State University today announced a contract extension for head football coach Mike Gundy, giving him a new seven-year contract worth $15.7 million. The contract was announced following action by the OSU/A&M Board of Regents at its regular meeting in Miami. With the new contract, which is effective Jan. 1, 2009 and runs through December of 2015, Gundy’s average annual compensation will be more than $2.2 million. His current six-year contract paid him $1,053,000 this year. What the heck? That's quite a raise, and he didn't even beat OU, Texas, or Tech! Now, I went to OSU when Mike Gundy was the quarterback there. He was the quarterback during Barry Sanders' Heisman year. He seems like a nice guy and a great coach, but wow... In all fairness, I have to point out that I also read ...

Third time is a charm? Third time stinks.

So....unfortunately it seems my gut (and the thyroglobulin blood test) was right. Ultrasound showed two "metastatic" lymph nodes. Same right side of the neck where I had four cancerous lymph nodes in 2008. Radiologist said we could biopsy them but he showed me...."here is what a normal lymph node looks like. But here is what this one...and this one look like. Not normal....with metastatic characteristics." Third time is a charm? Third time stinks. First diagnosed in 2008, recurrence in 2009, and now a recurrence in 2012. About 30% of thyroid cancer survivor struggle with recurrence, and I am in that 30%. What's next? A procedural biopsy next week. Surgery next month. Those are the facts. I'm still sorting through the emotions of it all so more on that later. Thanks for your prayers and positive thoughts.

On my soapbox about "the best cancer to have"

Those of you who follow me on Twitter know I was on my soapbox this morning after reading yet another article about the dreaded subject of how thyroid cancer is "the best cancer to have." Think about that...the best cancer? Why would someone say that? In an attempt to make you feel better about having thyroid cancer, some health care profesionals try to convince those of us who have or have had thyroid cancer that it is "the best cancer to have" because it has a high survival rate. An aside here, that high survival rate applies to papillary carcinoma, one of the three types of thyroid cancer out there. Survival rates are lower for medullary carcinoma and anaplastic carcinoma, the other two types of thyroid cancer. Back on topic...OK, so tell us that papillary carcinoma has a high survival rate. Truly, that is good news. But because of this "best cancer to have" statement, and the fact that I was told my thyroidectomy would most likely be just an easy, ove...
