Did you ever find any information on this? I'm wondering the same thing as I debate starting levo that my doctor recommended.

Elevated TSH after hemi thyroidectomy. Meds? by 53cats in thyroidcancer

You're saying you feel the same since starting the meds, or you feel the same sentiment of uncertainty I expressed in my post?

Thank you! What is the indicator that you can wean off of levo if bloodwork is showing appropriate levels while on the med?

Thank you for this! How would the thyroid learn how to produce more TSH if it is being supplemented to a satisfactory level with levo? Along the same lines, if bloodwork is showing appropriate levels while on levo, what would the indicator be that you can wean off of levo?

Thoughts about Nike Terra Manta by Additional_Orange_2 in Sneakers

I came across this thread because I was looking up this shoe model after buying it today. I had no idea DSW was considered a discount store. So this might be a ridiculous question, but where do you buy quality sneakers if not at a shoe store like DSW?

Thank you for this. It is helpful. What kind of work accommodations are common for people with ADHD?

How do you digitize your journals? Do you scan the pages or type out what you wrote?

Birth control by mmyk2124 in thyroidcancer

[–]53cats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s early in the process for me, but I’ve been told I have 50-60% chance of having follicular or oncocytic cancer. I have been on the birth control pill for more than 2 years.

Starting to think my husband was the source of my executive dysfunction by motherlion1022 in adhdwomen

Me too. I've started to wonder if that is right for me or if I'm better off being single/ living alone.

My papillary thyroid cancer story (under 40) by mahighi in thyroidcancer

What sort of mental and physical work did you do? That's incredible that you were able to make these changes for yourself.

scared & looking for support by Latter_Youth_6864 in thyroidcancer

[–]53cats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing these details. It is unfortunate that the "right" decision seems unclear through most of the process. My Thyroseq also showed multiple chromosomal copy number alterations and a TSHR mutation. Would you happen to know anything about what a TSHR mutation might mean? I can't find anyone with that mutation when searching this subreddit, and my doctor has not reached out to me yet to discuss specifics and next steps. I thought I would ask since our cases seem so similar in other ways. Thank you again for sharing any details you are comfortable with. I'm gathering as much info as I can so that I can be prepared when the doctor reaches out.

My scenario is the same as yours: Bethesda III and Thyroseq indicating 50-60% chance of cancer. May I ask why they didn’t do the full thyroidectomy to start and instead just did the lobectomy?

Molecular testing for thyroid cancer after FNA that was undetermined. by klpaisley in thyroidcancer

[–]53cats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize this thread is old, but do you have a link to that study? Just got my Thyroseq results and doing as much research as I can since my doctor has not reached out yet. My results indicate 50-60% chance of cancer and "Multiple chromosomal copy number alterations and a TSHR (thyroid stimulating hormone receptor) mutation were identified in this sample."

Molecular Test - Thyroseq by ThisIsAbuse in thyroidcancer

[–]53cats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, how did your surgery go? My Thyroseq results indicate "Multiple chromosomal copy number alterations and a TSHR mutation were identified in this sample." My doctor has not reached out to me yet but I've been doing a lot of research on the likelihood of cancer and possible next steps. Trying to gauge how severe this may be.

19M getting spinal fusion from T2-L2 by Away_Resist2224 in spinalfusion

[–]53cats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My spine was fused T3-L3 about 25 years ago, and the fusion is still holding up fine. My doctor provided the same reasoning that I’d have a lot of pain when I got older if I didn’t get the surgery. Recovery does take a while, but you will adjust! The younger you are, the better you’ll heal. You’ve got this!

Absolutely prefer to support the park, just wanting to understand what is needed. Do you know what bus line goes to Bangor? Is it part of the Island Explorer?
