Ahhh a new demotivator,, just in time! These always cheer me up.
This one kinda sums up our day yesterday. Kristi’s endocrinologist wants to run some more tests before the surgery. She thinks the pathology suggests that this may not be a “run of the mill” papillary carcinoma and wants the surgeon to be more aggressive if needed. Even if it is just a papillary carcinoma, the whole deal sounds more unpleasant than we thought as well. After the Sweeney Todd surgery they want her to spend a few weeks getting way hypothyroid (which doesn’t sound fun at all, but the body makes a bunch of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone in response and that is good) and be iodine restricted before radiation. The nuclear medicine will be administered in the hospital in Spokane where she will be sequestered away from us living things that matter for a couple days. You are welcome to send any big assholes you can find to visit her; I suspect she'll be feeling more than a tad testy and might enjoy nukin' 'em. Five days later we are back up in Spokane for a whole body scan, but at least she will be starting to get thyroid hormone back in her system by then.
But the potential alternatives are way worse,, so lets all chant in unison: "GO papillary carcinoma GO!"

It is good to have a strong Doctor on your side. You will most likely be very sleepy if they want to make you hypothryroid. Do they do that so your body slows way down? Good luck with all of this. By the way you guys look really cute in your new photo.
chanting right with you
