A Cancer Survivor & Fighter's Blog
I just got the word from endocrinology that I can go forward with my radioactive iodine treatment. It certainly took long enough to become de-iodinated! I’m just waiting for a call back now from nuclear medicine to figure out when.
I’m scared and excited. Excited to be done, scared of what they will find (metastases?!?!?!) It’s supposed to be rare with PTC, but I’ve met several people now who have them. It seems pretty darn common if you ask me.
My name is Kate Stowell. I’m a cancer survivor two times over! I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1997 and diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer in 2009. Besides surviving cancer, I am a graduate of SUNY Geneseo (2004) and SUNY Binghamton (2006) and work as a registered nurse in a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I have two wonderful children, a loving husband, and a sweet black lab. The purpose of this blog is to keep a record of all the ups and downs my growing family goes through both during treatment and everyday life. I welcome questions and comments. Welcome!
