When the doctor says you can resume your normal diet but radiology says you can’t wear your dentures... 💁♀️🤷♀️ #radioactiveiodine #thyca #gotthatfinechina https://www.instagram.com/p/B-LLKewFQoU/?igshid=1aubicbpuql8k
#gammacamera shenanigans 😂 I had RAI dosing this week to become a little bit She-Hulk (as I like to call it) for a whole body scan. I didn't know what they would find, but you gotta have fun. Got my results yesterday, my scan is clear, happy dance time! #thyroidcancer #thyca #radioactiveiodine #thyroidectomy #noonefightsalone #shehulkstatus #fuckcancer https://www.instagram.com/p/B4r78cIlUke/?igshid=9gfyf39xfho
A little about me...
Hi, my name is Kristin and welcome to my blog! I recently underwent a total thryrodectomy (surgical removal of my thyroid) due to hyperthyroidism caused by Graves' Disease (an autoimmune disease). After hours of research and finding such a limited amount of information on the subject, I decided to share my story in the hopes that it may help someone know what to expect.
My journey began in Fall 2017. I decided it was time to get a routine check-up with my doctor, as it had been 3 years since my last one (which many young women are now told is the norm). My TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) levels were 0.01. Basically, my thyroid was so overactive, it was difficult to even get a true reading.
I then had to go to an Endocrinologist who put me on Methimazole (a type of suppressant for the thyroid) in order to get my numbers more regulated. After nearly 1-1/2 years of not being in a normal range for any length of time, my Endocrinologist and I decided it was time to discuss the next steps, which included either radioactive iodine (RAI) or a total thyrodectomy. (More on these later, as well as the reason I chose surgery.)
I had my total thyroidectomy on 3/18/19 and am continuing to heal. In the meantime, I thought I'd share my symptoms, the things that helped, a few words of encouragement, and basically let anyone else on this journey know that they are not alone, as I have often felt. Hope this brings a little bit of comfort and some clarity along the way!
Welp, today marks 17 years on the east coast. In a what-was-I-thinking move, I scheduled my radiation treatment today, so I’m celebrating in isolation until Saturday. The hardest part was leaving my kitties at the vet when I need them the most. Maybe a binge of classic NYC movies is in order to lift my spirits? I’ll take suggestions ... and I’ll still take Manhattan. 💙🗽💙 . #nyc #i💙NY #luckygal #cancerstillsucks #radioactiveiodine #thyroidcancer #home (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtTkYXUhM4JoZxgS-w-_ZHArzTWGV5mqVUABtE0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y9jw35dizrwf

Radiation Week: Part III
Today was a day that’s been on the radar for months now. Scan day. To say it’s a big day in this cancer journey would be an understatement. I’ve kept my nerves under wraps for the most part since that day in February that I was diagnosed, but in the past couple days, my worry has gotten the best of me. I was so anxious this morning I couldn’t sleep. Well, I’m happy to report that my scans came back clear.
The doctor is confident my thyroid cancer was caught at Stage I and didn’t spread. And I can’t stop smiling. It’s like a weight I didn’t know existed was lifted off of me. What’s more, is that my amazing surgeon at Allegheny General was able to remove 98.9% of the thyroid tissue in my neck, which apparently is an extremely impressive surgery. I was treated with radioactive iodine (which was my hope and prayer all along) and released. There will be a follow up scan in a week that will become my new baseline moving forward.
Now, after taking my radiation pills, I’m in isolation for a few days. It’ll be seven days until I’m able to hold my kids, which is tough. But I should get to see them in a couple of days at least for a hug. AND, 68 1/2 hours from the moment I’m writing this, I get to be off the low iodine diet. First meal: pizza and wings.
Thanks for all the well wishes, notes, prayers, vibes and thoughts lately and moving forward. I know this isn’t the end point, but I sure am glad to get some good news today. I’m going to beat this. This is an adventure.
Radiation Week: Part II
Today I’m receiving I-123 capsules, basically six iodine pills that’ll be absorbed by remaining thyroid tissue and cancerous cells in the general area of my thyroid to prep for a scan tomorrow morning. The scan will determine my dosage of radiation, which will be administered tomorrow. If the scan turns up more tissue than thought, radiation gets scrapped and another surgery gets planned.
Quick visit today. Tomorrow will be more drawn out. Nothing much to report other than I swallowed my pills without a problem (I have problems with pills often). Nervous about the scan and hopeful that radiation is the route. Got to do something to take my mind off things today.
On lazy lunch days ( like today ) I am so grateful to have a few of these in the fridge. Funny thing? I don’t even like mustard or nuts but mixed in I love this salad 🥗 I’ve been trying to take advantage of being home yesterday and today by getting caught up on some blogging I’ve procrastinated. Excited to put out more thought out content rather than my shit I need to leave the house but I really want to try this new lipstick 💄 type of posts 😂 #busymom #reallife #quarentined #thyroid #radioactive #radioactiveiodine #thyroidectomy #beautyblogger #saladforlunch #readypac #organicsalad
