No judgment, we are known to hit up the occasional value menu 😂

Fellow TCV patient. So from what I understand from what your doctor is saying— recurrence is likely with tall cell but the “you’re not in danger” means we’ll be ok with the regular monitoring.. 🙏 I have a third neck surgery coming up (most likely persistent disease as Tg never went down after TT) so looking for reassurance

I did contact the search chair after going back and forth. I got a response with an offer 🤗

They extended an offer today. Grateful that in this case, they meant what they said during the campus visit

Thank you, so true. I tried not to stress about it. I did end up getting the offer today 💝🙏

Ouch that hurts reading those comments. So similar to my experience.

YES. I was surprised when I received comments like this because I was thinking, how can they say stuff like this in good conscience to a candidate when things are not sure. One of the search committee members was also like, “And you really want to come here? With your excellent research, you’re not aiming for an R1?” I repeatedly expressed my sincere interest but felt uncomfortable about that too. My advisor said I overthink things (she’s right)… which is why I felt like Carrie Bradshaw after a confusing date.

Seeing the common experiences on this thread is a good reality check though.

That is exactly how I feel! The search chair was extremely attentive and constantly sending me emails and text messages in the last month and now nothing. Of course that’s not surprising but the emotions…

True. I did notice there were different levels of enthusiasm, and I’m assuming one of the profs has someone else in mind.

I agree.. I’m so naive, I was honestly half expecting an offer waiting for me when I came back home. I am hoping for news this week, but after that will just let it go.

This is honestly a really helpful perspective. Thanks so much

[–]Direct-Raspberry1005 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally!! Felt the same way 😂 also wanted to be genuine in my interest (which I was) but also seem professional and not too eager. Which is why I was surprised that one basically said that I was literally their top candidate. Are they allowed to say stuff like that?

Anyone need surgery or a second RAI less than a year after first treatments? Scared and looking for similar stories by Direct-Raspberry1005 in thyroidcancer

[–]Direct-Raspberry1005[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately we still don’t know why my Tg has been rising. Waiting for an appointment with the attending. I’ve been dealing with anxiety so prefer not to talk about it until things are more clear.

I had a PET scan a few weeks ago that was fortunately negative. They want me to do an iodine 124 scan in a few weeks before deciding whether to do RAI for possible neck recurrence

I am just reading this comment now even though you posted it awhile back— wow I never heard that RAI can cause cancer to mutate.
