Did you know you have between 500-600 lymph nodes in your body?

And it only takes one to mess everything up - and in my case, the answer truly is one. I had my six month and first ultrasound since my surgery - the hope was that all lymph nodes, which are shaped like kidney beans would come back clean. However, I have one rogue node that decided to look more like a pancake. I would like to thank my Dr. for the fabulous food analogies.

What does this mean - I dont know, I have to see my dr. on thursday. It most likely means that i will soon be starting radioactive iodine treatments, which will be not fun, but, hey, it could be worse. The biggest frustration is that we have spend the last 6 months getting my medication correct and now we will have to start all of this over after the treatments. I will keep you all updated, as of now i really dont know much, but wanted to give everybody a heads up. Enjoy the warm November weather,
jess
