Hi Julie-Sunny-AZ

When I saw your comment "no you did not increase your chances for recurrance" I had a sigh of relief, thank you for that. I asked the nurse how hyperthyroid was I but at the time she didn't have my chart with her. When they lowered my meds I told her that I don't do well at a lower dose but she said that they will recheck it in 6 weeks. Also, that is what I thought, its better to be hyperthyroid to decrease your chances for recurrance. This is a new doctor and I am second guessing her decision. What I was going to do was just to go back to the higher dosage. Its just so hard to put your full trust into these doctors because of all the mistakes they have made in the past.

On April 30 and May 1st I will be getting the thyrogen shots and on May 2nd go get the RAI pill then on May 4 go get the full body scan. Bye for now.

Blessings to you too, Debby
