6 Months Post RAI Appointment

Monday morning, I had my 6 month post Radioactive Iodine Treatment check up appointment.  We were given great news: 1) That my dosage of medication is perfect and 2) that my tumor marker # (Thyroglobulin measurement) is officially at ZERO!  My tumor marker # used to be 2.9, so that's really exciting it's at zero and shows that any thyroid cells (whether malignant or benign) have been blasted and are no longer there.  My doctor said that if it's still zero at my 1 year mark, there is a very slim chance I'll ever have a relapse of thyroid cancer, which is exactly what we wanted to hear!  

Tuesday morning, I had an ultrasound on my neck to make sure that all the surrounding tissue looked benign and we got an all clear response back from that as well.  Such great news that we decided to celebrate with milkshakes!  

I'm also taking the week off from blogging, so we'll be back Monday!
