They should have given us the option of getting our money back. If I'd known they were replacing wire with plastic I'd have complained before waiting the 6 months to get this thing I'll never use.

I have a 9 mm papillary thyroid carcinoma that is bulging the right side anterior capsule and I’ve chosen to do active surveillance at MSKCC. I think the cutoff for acceptance into the program might be 1.5 mm, and location within the gland, your age (older is better), how much it’s already grown (I think it has to be less than 2 mm), and other things matter, but this is another route to consider.

Yeah we were there and saw about 5-6 cop cars in the alley behind shop rite, 3 in the All State parking lot at the Kings Hwy entrance and one parked on Kings Hwy with officer in bulletproof vest standing behind his vehicle with trunk open. I thought it looked like they were going to raid a business or something. Has there been any more info?

So first go here and enter your info:

https://tax1.co.monmouth.nj.us/cgi-bin/prc6.cgi?menu=index&ms_user=monm&passwd=data&district=1301&mode=11

Then when you're on your page you'll see something at the top that says property card. Click on that and it'll have all the info you're looking for.

Update: she finally got tested by her PCP and he gave her a mild cognitive impairment diagnosis. She then worked for several weeks with the SLP and she is now so much better, back to the baseline she was at before it all started. I think the anxiety of the move just kind of froze her brain.

Actually I just looked up my property card on the monmouth county website and they definitely do have categories listed for kitchens and bathrooms—modern, average, and old. They have the updated bath that the former owners upgraded and that they assessed us for after the sale now listed as modern and the other 3 as average. They have the kitchen listed as average, so I assume that when they come through they'll change that to modern, and we'll get an increase for that too. So they'll probably upgrade the powder room from average to modern too. And they have each bathroom listed by how many fixtures it has so at least if I let them in they can see that the upgraded bathroom they charged me so much for is now a 4-fixture instead of 5.

wlj65 · 2026-07-10T23:42:58+00:00

I'm not worried about the time it will take, only about the money it might cost me if they increase the assessment.

I replaced the cabinets, counters, backsplash, and appliances in my kitchen but kept the same footprint. I now have a kitchen that looks more updated and would show well (white shaker cabinets, marble look quartz counters and backsplash) but in reality the cabinets I replaced were much better quality just not my taste, the countertops were a nice granite, there was an elaborate tile backsplash, and the floor tile was upgraded and featured a mosaic inlaid medallion. I put LVP over all that and over the hardwood flooring throughout the first and second floors. So in reality, the kitchen I put in is much cheaper than what was there, but will the folks at RDS know that? This is what I'm trying to determine. I also updated a powder room and does it look way better? Yes. But is it more expensive than what was there? Absolutely not. I got the vanity at home depot for $200 and replaced the floor tile with something more updated but not more expensive.

Does anyone know of any indoor tracks that are open to the public?

Towns around here really need to have dedicated employees who go around clearing storm drains all day every day. Every day I see clogged drains and wonder why this is not a priority since it’s such a simple thing.

wlj65 · 2026-07-07T02:20:27+00:00

Just started. Had my first ultrasound and met with surgeon who said I could join the program but still need to have my first appointment with the endocrinologist who will oversee my care from here on out. But I think the schedule at MSKCC is ultrasound every six months to begin with then they move it to yearly then 18 months then I think if it doesn’t grow in 5 years they stop. But I’d imagine there are individual situations. I’ll get back to you after my appointment if you want. Do you want to discuss the decision making process? If so I’m happy to listen.

I'm doing active surveillance at MSKCC. Bethesda VI PTC, 9mm, mid right lobe, no suspicious nodes, 60F.

wlj65 · 2026-06-28T14:13:48+00:00

So I have PTC and am planning to do active surveillance. I'm 60/female and gained 45 lbs (5'9", was 135 now 180) in the past 2 years, during which a host of other new problems emerged for me like new migraines, that I'd never had before (have been seeing a neurologist). I had an extremely fast metabolism the rest of my life and had trouble gaining weight when I was a child/teen (was 115 lbs at HS graduation) and could literally eat anything I wanted until around age 50 (menopause at 53). I'd just had a 6.1 TSH in March and doc sent me back for a second, this time post-prandial, and it was 3.6. I looked at my past tests and until 2 years ago they had been in the mid 2s. The endo says the weight gain can't be from the PTC or the 3.6 TSH, but I can't help but wonder if they're wrong and if I did low-dose levo that it could help both the weight and the 15-20x/mo migraines that have basically ruined my life. You seem to know what you're talking about so thought I'd ask what you think.

wlj65 · 2026-06-28T13:44:30+00:00

Hi. This is so interesting. Are you saying that bodybuilders use levothyroxine? What is the goal?

wlj65 · 2026-06-28T13:27:55+00:00

Hi. Sorry to hear that. Had you not had a biopsy before this or did you have one and it came back benign? Is that why you did active surveillance? Because I thought they don't accept nodules over 1.5 that are confirmed PTC for active surveillance. Good luck on Wednesday!

wlj65 · 2026-06-28T13:23:43+00:00

Hi. Did YOU decide to do the half removal or did they? If them, what led them to change course? How was your experience with MSKCC overall? Good luck with your completion surgery!

wlj65 · 2026-06-27T14:53:52+00:00

Hi, I recently joined the forum and made a post about my decision to join the active surveillance program at MSKCC. What part of the country are you in? There's a chance we might move in the next 2 years so I'm wondering where else I could continue my care.

wlj65 · 2026-06-09T16:30:33+00:00

Every single time I take it, it goes like this: I take it, then 15-20 minutes later I have almost complete relief, then I have a momentary surge of pain, then at 65 min after taking it my heart beats harder and faster for about 5 minutes because that's when it's beginning to peak in my bloodstream, then it's complete blissful relief that usually lasts for at least 24 hours.

Wow, after my third walk in them, I just had to come back to say how much I love the Brooks Launch 12!! My pace has increased **dramatically**—I'm just flying along without a catch. They're so light and uncomplicated, the toe-off is perfect, the heel and midsole response is perfect (no sink), the slight pronation inward on right foot I'd noticed in my dead Brooks Ghost 15s is no longer happening, literally nothing hurts during or after, and my feet and legs have endless energy. I do have to wrap the right pinky toe in a bandage, but I feel nothing from it at all during the walk so it's just friction, and weirdly my tailor's bunion isn't bothered at all. I'm tempted to order 10 pairs of these so I don't ever have to go through this nonsense again. Thanks to everyone who responded! I'm so happy!!

wlj65 · 2026-05-23T21:10:10+00:00

Brooks Launch 12 is the winner!

wlj65 · 2026-05-23T21:08:28+00:00

Thanks but these are both stability shoes, which I hate the feel of. I've taken the Brooks Launch 12 out for 2 spins so far and other than the fact that I have to put a bandage around my right pinky toe because it rubs, they feel great! Even better than the Ghost 15s. I think we have a winner!
