It’s been awhile since I’ve updated but not because anything bad has happened…I’m actually doing ok. Just busy with life! I had a tg level drawn about a month after RAI and it came back at 0.57. Ideally it would be 0 meaning that there are NO thyroid cancer cells left, but apparently it can take about 6 months after surgery or RAI for cells to completely die off. I’ve had my Synthroid adjusted once and am currently taking 175mcg per day, although that may change since I just had my TSH checked again.

In non-thyroid cancer news the kids are doing well. Daniel has started walking a little bit by himself but still prefers to crawl. Ethan is now in the Dinosaur classroom which is age 2.5-3.5 years. My mom came out to visit last month and it was wonderful. They are still considering buying a house here and I hope that happens.

Friday we are getting a puppy. The new puppy is a bouvier, a type of belgian cattle herding dog. Right now he’s a 10 lb ball of fluff but when he’s grown up he will be close to 100 lbs of shaggy black dog! We found him through a friend of mine at the dog park. I hope Annie is ready.
