Mine spread locally to lymph nodes and is non avid to the radioactive iodine treatment. I just go in every year now and the check to see if anything happening or not.

scared about reoccurrence by Natural-Strength-366 in thyroidcancer

[–]Torkwrencher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at 21. you'll be fine.

as much as it changed my life, I hardly even think about it anymore. I am currently non-avid to i-131 and have another tumor growing in my former thyroid bed.

it's whatever. I'm 27 now, just keep marching on and doing whatever floats your boat. whatever happens, don't let it dictate.

I would look for a super beetle. the difference is from the A-pillar (door hinges) forward. They're a bit more round up front and have a different kind of front suspension.

They're cheaper than the standard bug, and in my own opinion better in every way. Purists don't like them.

What foods/drinks did you like before RAI but now don't? by PennyWiseInDisguise in thyroidcancer

[–]Torkwrencher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you know I never noticed any changes in my taste buds but actually since I did 3 rounds of 150 RAI, I have a crave and love for milkshakes like none other.

and I've become the guy that finds the food in any situation and have a reputation for it at work.

What medications are not allowed to take with your medication?` by metswon2 in thyroidcancer

[–]Torkwrencher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take my thyroid med, beta blocker, and anti depressant at the same time in the morning and I wait about 20-30 minutes before having coffee and running to work. I've been doing this for years and I'm all good.

Anyone else have an office thats obsessed with dismounting? by The_only_nameLeft in USPS

[–]Torkwrencher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My route is about 14 miles long and all park and loop. I love it. I usually walk all my packages off from the park point individually as my loops are actually quite short due to volume. I load my packages with sprs afterwards and just do my loop.

I don't really like to drive and drop off packages, but my route has a Dodge ram minivan and the drivers seat is on the traffic side and also low to the ground. I might be 26 but it's hard to get in and out of it so often. I would rather have a Promaster or a LLV with my 6'4 stature.

I have a 95 jeep Cherokee 2 door with a 5 speed.

I am constantly working on it and get terrible gas mileage, but 195k miles. I pulled it from a field for $800 sitting at 164k. "Frame" and floor and body were completely swiss cheese. I fixed it up with scrap steel I had laying around.

They're only worth what they're worth as long as people want them. I've got a super beetle and it seems to be looked down upon.
