The list of complications, side-effects, and doctors I have to visit post-cancer treatment seem rather lengthy and frustrating to me.
Sometimes being "stable" doesn't seem so stable at all. And after an hour long (plus) wait at the endocrinologist the other day just for a follow up on my most recent medical problem, I think my feelings are pretty much the same about it all.

I've been on thyroid medication (treatment mentioned in the last post) for over a month now and it seems that I have lost about 4 pounds...which is great considering that I had gained 15 pounds a few months ago. I'm still not too sure about its impact on my fatigue but I've also been going to bed on "summer hours" so that could very well be my fault.
Anyways, this means that the thyroid meds have been doing at least SOME of their job--of course, I'm telling you this PRE-blood test results. We have to rule out a few other things--rare forms of this or that--who knows...I almost never fully listen to doctor jargon...to make sure we don't have to change up the medication or that I need other treatment for blankity blank, etc.
Hopefully I'll be getting a call sometime this week.

Otherwise, I will be visiting my oncologist for a checkup on July 13th.
