well, I really have been lazy about blogging. It's just that days go by so fast and I have to feed my kids and sleep and clean my house and go to the pool, etc. etc. Plus it just doesn't seem like I have any new news to report. However, I did re-read my last post and realized that I hadn't shared the results of my last F.N.A. It looks okay, they say. So now I just need to get the results of my last 24-hr urine test and then I see my Endo on Aug. 7th.
I don't know that I've enlightened the readers of this blog on the 24-hr urine test. See, back in April when all was well and no one thought I had cancer my surgeon had a CT with contrast performed on me. Well, the contrast that is used would affect my radioactive iodine treatment by making it less effective so I have to make sure it's all out of my system before I can take my radioactive pill. It can stay in your body for 2-12 months so I have to periodically do a test where every drop of pee for one whole day has to be kept in a jug that must be refrigerated and then sent to a lab. So basically this is all I'm waiting on to start my treatment. I am not looking forward to having to be away from my kids for around two weeks once I have this treatment but I don't want them to get cancer either so I'd just as soon get this all over with. I'll have to go in and have my levels checked often to see what my levels of radioactivity are before I go home to my kids. My sister-in-law has kindly agreed to let me stay at her house while I emanate radioactive vibes. At least I can catch up on my scrapbooking! I'll try and be better about posting but I can't promise anything.
