Remission

After a round of tests and labs last week, I saw the doctor today. He told me that while we’ll continue to monitor, we can consider me in remission (from Thyroid cancer). That’s great because he’s going to back my suppression therapy down a little and hopefully that will help with some of the bothersome symptoms I’ve been dealing with for the last 2 years.

  9. i’ve been behind on reading blogs, and saw your note on remission. I am happy for you. I hadn’t thought about your needing to take suppression drugs or the side effects those drugs can have. Happy they are going to lower the dose. You amaze me in that you get so much done despite everyting. Enjoy Big Bear and some increased peace of mind
