Cancer free :)

Well I made it 5 years out after being diagnosed with the second most invasive thyroid cancer at 24, and let me tell you that was a changing point in my life for the better. I guess I finally realized that life can be and is indeed short if. I just never figured that someone that looked as I did and trained like I did could ever be faced with such a major obstical, but that is just what it was a obstical to make me stronger and not to stress out over the small stuff that all tend to dwell on in our day to day lives. Now its time to train in the off season after having 3 months off of the gym and get ready for next year. Stay healthy guy's!

Thanks guy's... and congrads to you too SecondAct. I had my scan once a year for 5 years and then every 3 after that until I reach 10 year mark. Comming off my synthroid for 6 weeks is horribal I dont know if anyone is familular with normal TSH levels but typicaly on my scale the lab used normal range is .05-5.5 and mine hits 230's which is EXTREME hypo, feel like shit. Thats why I miss so much time in the gym when I get one done. I barely have enough drive to eat let alone lift .

Yes congrats to that for sure, my uncle had something like that and it did not appear to be easy on him either but he is doing much better now. I think it was about 7-8 years ago now. take care

That's great news and I admire your positive attitude. Those of us with (apparently) perfect health have a lot to learn from survivors like you.

Why doesn't your endo use Thyrogen? It's recombinant synthetic TSH. I know a lady at work that had to get scanned every year and it about killed her to go hypothyroid.
I told her about Thyrogen and the fact you don't have to go off thyroid meds as the synthetic TSH is injected before the scan 2-3 times to mimic the high TSH level that would be created by cessation of thyroid drugs. Therefore allowing the Thyrogen to turn on any thyroid cancer cells in the body that will be picked up by RAI3 scans.

Glad to hear things are good thyroid cancers follicular and app are the easiest cancers to cure if caught early...
