Yesterday, I met with the surgeon who removed my thyroid to discuss the pathology report and next steps in treatment of my cancer. He has referred me to an endocrinologist, who will administer the radioactive iodine and start me on replacement thyroid hormone. I’ve been feeling really run down the last few days and in a moderate amount of pain, which is probably the fibromyalgia acting up.
The pathology report showed that the cancer didn’t appear to extend beyond my thyroid, which means that the radioactive iodine should get any remaining cancer or thyroid cells.
