    Thanks Nasher
    I am doing great! Got 125 mCi's and less than 1 week after RAI I am back to work and worked 3 days this week! My scan came back negative with only thyroid in the neck.....no metastasis!! Yippee!! Thyroglobulin level and antibodies also came back negative so the 2 together are great signs! I'm celebrating my life! Loving my family ....and living in the world. I'm not sure that I'm not getting a mouth full of cold sores, or just irritation from the lemon candies....but I'm feeling great! My family is starting to recover from the stress that the past few months have brought us and I am now praying for their recovery. My husband is trying to juggle work, home, and my diagnosis and suffering from panic attacks. My son screwed up in school this semester, and needs to take 1 test and pass it to remain in college for another semester.....say a prayer for both of them. They both took my diagnosis really hard! My daughter was the resillient one....ended up with all A's and a B this term, and is now celebrating on a chorus trip to New York City!! I'm enjoying my life....continuing to learn more about myself.....and enjoying this time where for the first time in months I don't have to worry about my health! I'm taking it one day at a time, so I'm not going to worry about how long it will last.....it's lasting for today so I celebrate and embrace it!

    Hi,
    Just a thought about
    Hi,
    Just a thought about the cold sores. They are completely different from other mouth sores. I got sores kind of like canker sores inside my mouth. Doctor gave them some big long name, but they are stress related and not contagious. Then after the RAI I got sores on the edges of my mouth like they were very dry. They took a while to heal. I just kept using lip balm to keep moist. I also got a red streak across my face from the corner of my mouth. Luckily it went away after about a month. The corners of my mouth are still red though, but I can live with that.

    Thanks for the info!
    I did really well with the sores and didn't have a lot of problems with the RAI.
