I got my results from my left lobedectomy and I have follicular variant papillary carcinoma.
I go in for completion surgery on 1-3-08 and RAI to follow.
I'm still taking my Levoxyl 125mcg daily, but each day I'm becoming more hypo. I can barely go 6-8 hours without a nap. I have a lot of muscle and bone pain. My dr. is almost impossible to get in touch with. Has anyone had hypo symptoms while on meds after a partial?
Also last year a mammogram revealed a quarter size cyst on my right breast. Should I demand a biopsy now since I was told for the longest that the lumps in my throat were benign?
Thanks for all your help!

Hi Maria- I'm sorry that your dx was positive for thyca :-( . As I understand it, we're supposed to become hypothyroid in order fr the rai treatment to work most effectively. That's a shame that your doc doesn't have good communication with you. Any way you can switch? If it was me, I would want the breast cyst looked at right away as it's just too close to known cancer in your body. Best of luck to you, keep us posted. hugs, cherry

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
