Radiation

August 18th, 2007

I'm into my 6th week of no thyroid hormone. I have had to be taken off of it to prep my body for the radio active pills. So I feel really crappy right now, hardly any energy, always drained and exhausted.

I get my radio active dose Monday the 20th of Aug and I can't be around other humans for 6 days. They say I shouldn't get real sick from it. but I'm just worried about my body rejecting the pills. They have to give me a very high dose. They said a big risk is the PT throwing it up.

So please pray that my body does not reject the medication.

This treatment/test is a way to make sure they killed and or removed all the cancer cells. I will have to go into my nuclear Dr after and have a series of special pictures taken of my whole body to see if anything is glowing. God forbid they see something it will mean I still have active cancer cells somewhere. But at least it will show them where they are located.


I'm hoping and praying that this is almost over.

It has been almost a year since the cancer was discovered.

I have been keeping positive through this hard journey. I know the power of prayers from others has helped keep me mentally stable. Emotional, now that is another question. I swear it is worse then being pregnant. If you can believe that.
