So the last time I posted I think I mentioned a granuloma on my left lung that we were all worried about. My doctor was going to wait until my radioactive iodine whole body scan to see what turned out but then both my surgeon and endocrinologist decided that it would be best to do a PET scan. So my surgeon called me Monday evening around 5:30 and got me scheduled for a PET scan on Tuesday morning. He then called me this morning and told me some good news. The only areas that "lit up" on the scan were all around the areas that he removed tissue, which I think means that he got all the big chunks of cancer out. Yea!! So now I'll have what's called an ablation dose of radioactive iodine in 3-8 weeks, the exact timing depends on certain factors such as my TSH levels.
So other than that I'm feeling better, a little more awake. I didn't take a nap or sleep in today for the first time since I've been home. I also was home alone with both kids today for the first time. I even let Owen have a friend over for a few hours and took them all to the pool up the street. I got laundry done and went to the grocery store too so I feel kind of rejuvenated. I think the good news I got this morning helped a lot. I may go down to Arkansas to visit my grandpa with my mom this weekend but I'm not sure yet.
So all that being said, I'm about ready to go to bed.
