LOL, just teasing....

Actually I had A CT last week along with blood work, CBC, TSH and and GFR.

Got the report back the next day, but saw my Chemo MD today for the official reaing...

All is well, a little continued fullness of tissue on the left tonsil area. But no signs of recurrence, and no significant changes since November 2009.

All of the blood work came back good and within range.

An unexpected bit of good news, my TSH that has slowly been rising higher each exam for the last three years now (and higher than normal), has dropped back into the normal range.

Not sure why as I've been told by two of my MD's that once it starts going, it rarely comes back.

So this might just be some fluke on this test, but it's a nice positive scoop of goodness on top of an already uneventful report.

Best,
John

    Good for you John. You're moving into a very high percentage cure level, and I know you've been living that way for some time.

    Hey Skiff
    Excellent news John. Always good to chalk up another scan in the win column. Question: What is 'continued fullness of tissue' and why is it a problem? Cheers

    At least you are used to getting up during the night. Oh, no, it wasn't about a new baby! Thank you for keeping me laughing. Laughter is good medicine. Happy for you for the good reports. I will be looking at a PET by the end of March--SO want to see clean, no evidence of disease, nada on the report.
