Great news!

Hi everybody!
Well, I hit my first cancer milestone, the six month mark! I am currently undergoing through my rounds of testing to see if the cancer has returned or if there are just any signs of it left in my body. I had my first test a few weeks ago, which was the bloodwork for the tumorcheck. It came back very low, which is good, and will know be the baseline to work from - if the number goes up, it means thyroid cells are back. If the number stays the same, all is good. This coming Thursday I have the lymph node ultrasound, where we will check the entire neck and throat - if any of them show any signs of anything, we will automatically do radiation treatment. I am anxious and just want to find out soon. I am hoping to know by november 12th. we are also still trying to get my med levels figured out, 6 months later and we are still chaning meds every 6 weeks. I am hoping to get this taken care of after the next round.

Life is great otherwise, it has been fun traveling with a speech team (and coaching them) of course. I dont think i realized how much I enjoyed this activity until I came back - who would have ever guessed this could be my future!!
