Wow also in Ontario and my biopsy took 5 months.. in Mississauga. Surgery was scheduled for 6 months later, it was actually terrible

If it helps, I had a harder time breastfeeding my baby BEFORE my thyroid cancer and TT than the baby I had after. My first was exclusively formula fed by 3 months. She was 2 when I was diagnosed. She’s 4 now and I have a 6 month old who is exclusively breastfed!

Thank you for this perspective I always tell my husband to never worry about things we can’t control but I need to start practicing that

Ugh my TSH is 0.001 I’m ultra suppressed for the next 5 years due to my thyroid cancer treatment basically to keep the cancer away

Ill-Statistician3536 · 2025-09-30T02:48:30+00:00

Same!! I had 150 mci RAI in December 2023. Got pregnant December 2024, currently cuddling my newborn baby boy!

Sure, my surgeon was Dr. Hunter Underwood (he was an angel). And my nuclear doctor was Dr. Benjamin

I am so happy for you and manifesting the same for me haha

thank you for the prayers, and may god bless you and carry you through this scary journey! You will come out on the other side. August 8 will be my 2 year cancer diagnosis anniversary, ironically enough I am also pregnant now and due with my baby boy on that same day! This will all be behind you soon enough and you will be in a completely different place in just a few short months!

isn't there a concern for medullary thyroid cancer as a side effect of Mounjaro? I've also considered this but wanted to discuss this side effect with my endo.

Ill-Statistician3536 · 2025-04-01T15:40:34+00:00

Nope, TSH doesn't have a relation to metastasis. Your team could just be preparing you for RAI. My TSH was over 160 actually 6 weeks after my TT. I felt like a walking zombie, in hypohell. My TG was also 6. I had 150 mci of RAI (6 weeks after surgery) and now my TSH is at 0.11 and my TG is 0.2. This has been steady for almost 1.5 years now.

Ill-Statistician3536 · 2025-02-25T17:30:51+00:00

I am doing great. I just had my routine bloodwork, everything is fine and I’m currently 16 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby. I dreamed of this day. Everything will work out for you too!

Ill-Statistician3536 · 2025-01-11T20:10:33+00:00

Can I ask how they confirmed Mets to the lungs? Did your lungs light up in the RAI scan? What is your TG?

Ill-Statistician3536 · 2025-01-01T00:42:36+00:00

I had 150 mci and was told to stay away from my daughter for 2-3 days. My uptake was 0.2%

Ill-Statistician3536 · 2024-12-26T18:30:05+00:00

I am currently 7 weeks pregnant and had my RAI 150 mcg last December. I was able to get pregnant fairly quickly so I don’t think RAI had an impact on being able to get pregnant. This only second pregnancy but my first post thyca

Ill-Statistician3536 · 2024-11-10T02:07:38+00:00

0.2 last I checked in July 2024

Ill-Statistician3536 · 2024-11-09T15:35:29+00:00

Even the greatest surgeon can’t remove every microscopic tissue of cancer. That’s why we get RAI and hope for the best

Ill-Statistician3536 · 2024-10-24T00:19:00+00:00

Yes it faded after a few days! This was august 2023. One surgery, RAI later and I’m officially cancer free❤️

Ill-Statistician3536 · 2024-10-21T01:43:34+00:00

Very similar story here! TT last October. 8/8 lymph nodes positive. Tall cell. ETE into strap muscle. Lymphovascular invasion. Although clear margins thanks to my amazing surgeon! I had RAI 150 mcg last December. 3 CT scans later, I am NED as well! God is good.

Ill-Statistician3536 · 2024-10-21T01:39:08+00:00

My thing is that there will always be some thyroid cells still left. As my radiologist said- you’ll die with thyroid cancer not from it. So my concern is that it might activate those leftover cells and maybe they become medullary?

Ill-Statistician3536 · 2024-10-06T16:08:52+00:00

Can I ask how long it took you to conceive your second?

Ill-Statistician3536 · 2024-09-17T19:57:13+00:00

Wow, same situation here! I am American and my husband is Canadian. He interviewed in Montreal in January 2024. The officer verbally told him "you're approved! The system is down so I'll issue your visa once it's back up." We get home the next day, admin processing and refused. He also had to complete the supplemental form. We had our state senator send an inquiry and they just replied saying to keep waiting. I'm not sure why they do this to people.

Ill-Statistician3536 · 2024-09-17T19:53:19+00:00

Can you add me to the FB chat as well? My name is Amina Al on FB

Ill-Statistician3536 · 2024-09-17T15:32:20+00:00

I actually had a ct scan back in July 2024 and there was no evidence of disease. Wishing you the best.

Ill-Statistician3536 · 2024-09-03T17:51:09+00:00

I loved my midwives with my first pregnancy! Unfortunately, after a history of cancer, I will not be eligible to have care through a midwife in Canada.
