New things

Almost a month since the cut, but here it is anyway.

Today was Spiderman's first day of Kindergarten. I, wait I mean, HE survived. I almost cried in the parking lot. Can't believe he is there already. He is definitely ready. He bragged about being the smartest one cause he can read and no one else can yet.
Their teacher expects them to write in journals which will be so fun to read later. I love the way he spells things just the way they sound. That's the way it should be really.

For those without thyroids

Special Considerations For People With No Thyroid

Without a functioning thyroid, you don't need to be particularly concerned about soy or other goitrogenic foods (i.e., brussel sprouts, broccoli, etc.) and their ability to interfere with your thyroid function .

Those without a functioning thyroid are totally dependent on thyroid hormone replacement for all their thyroid hormone. You may find that you have less fluctuation in thyroid function and find it easier to stabilize your dose and maintain an optimal TSH level on a consistent dose, as compared to patients with autoimmune thyroid disease who still have a gland. (This is because when the gland is still present and capable of functioning, it may occasionally sputter to life and produce thyroid hormone, making regulation of thyroid levels more difficult.)

Thyroid cancer patients who have had the thyroid gland removed are in a unique situation in that they are given thyroid hormone replacement drugs at "suppressive" levels. This means that the objective is to give sufficient level of medication so as to test at a nearly undetectable TSH level close to 0. This is considered "hyperthyroid" by most lab standards, but suppression is necessary to prevent cancer recurrence in most patients. So, some thyroid cancer patients refer to themselves as "hyperthyroid," although again, the underlying condition of having no thyroid gland means that the condition is actually hypothyroidism, and so much of the advice about hypothyroidism still applies.

When You Don't Feel Your Best

If you are still experiencing hypothyroidism symptoms, you may not be receiving optimal treatment for your condition. You'll need to proactively work with your practitioner to get better treatment.

This may involve:

• Trying a different brand of levothyroxine
• Increasing the dose, so that the TSH is lower. (Some patients report feeling the best when TSH levels are between 1 and 2.) (Again, remember that thyroid cancer patients often follow a different protocol to prevent recurrence).
• Adding a T3 drug (i.e., Cytomel, or compounded T3), to the levothyroxine
• Switching to a T4/T3 synthetic drug, such as liotrix (Thyrolar)
• Switching to a natural desiccated thyroid drug, such as Armour
• Complementing your treatment with alternative, nutritional and mind-body support to help improve overall health and relieve symptoms.

Help, I'm Hypothyroid and I Still Don't Feel Well

An article to help you determine what your next steps should be

By Mary Shomon, About.com

Updated: August 31, 2005

Despite treatment for hypothyroidism, many of you continue to have symptoms that may be related to your thyroid problem. Even after you've been diagnosed and are on thyroid hormone replacement drugs, you may have persistent symptoms such as continued weight gain or difficulty losing weight, depression, brain fog or difficulty concentrating, hair loss, hand/feet/facial swelling, intolerance to heat and cold, muscle aches and joint pains, constipation, carpal tunnel or tendonitis, high cholesterol levels, difficulty getting pregnant, and more.

By way of overview, the first step for you is knowing your TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) level, and other key thyroid levels such as T4 and T3. These levels allow you to help gauge where your doctor is in terms of treatment, and give you a common point of discussion.

More innovative doctors are beginning to believe that a TSH of around 1 - 2 --- in the low end of the normal range -- is optimal for most people to feel well and avoid having hypothyroid or hyperthyroid symptoms. I know I feel terrible at 4-5, and at .2, but pretty good at 1 - 2. (NOTE: this TSH is usually kept even lower than 1-2 for thyroid cancer survivors to help prevent recurrence.) Dr. David Derry, for example, is one doctor who believes that TSH levels aren't even relevant to diagnosing or treating hypothyroidism and its symptoms.

For some people, even if the TSH level is normal, or even in some bases, low normal, there may still be a situation where one is hypothyroid at a cellular level, due to conversion problems, inadequate T3 hormone, or other factors. Inability to properly convert T4 to T3 can also result in fluctuating TSH, as the system struggles to keep balancing an out of whack T4 and T3 level, sending TSH levels up and down to compensate.

Some people also seem to need supplemental T3 to feel well. There was published February 11, 1999 in the New England Journal of Medicine a research report that says that many patients feel better on a combination of T4 and T3, not T4 (i.e., Synthroid) alone. Many people have a normal or even LOW-normal TSH level, yet still suffer continuing hypothyroidism symptoms. In these cases, the addition of T3 helped relieve depression, brain fog, fatigue and other symptoms. This information about T3 is groundbreaking and has major implications for people who don't feel well on their current thyroid therapies!!!

An Informative post today

To raise awareness......
The following was written by Andi S Green on Helium.com

Thyroid cancers are quite rare. There are several types of thyroid cancer, papillary, medullar and anaplastic. If you find an abnormal lump in your throat or unusual swelling then it is still best to visit your Dr to have it checked out. You may have other symptoms such as temperature changes, appetite changes or energy level changes.

1) Thyroid cancer is linked to previous problem with the thyroid gland, even if benign.

2) Thyroid cancer is also linked to previous exposure to radiation. In the 1950's and 60's children were often treated with high dose x-rays to treat acne, enlarged tonsils or scalp infections. This deep x-ray treatment is a risk factor. Also people exposed to radioactive particles during atomic tests or nuclear accidents are also at risk.

3) Genetic causes/family history of thyroid cancer is again a risk factor. Medullary thyroid cancer can be caused by an alteration in a gene called RET. This has a strong inherited component. So if there is family history of medullary thyroid cancer then Drs may suggest removing your thyroid to avoid cancer occurring.

4) Certain other inherited conditions are linked with an increased risk from the disease. Gardner's Syndrome or Cowden disease are linked to a higher rate of incidence of thyroid cancer. Also a bowel condition called FAP is linked to the disease.

5) Females are 2.5 times more likely than males to acquire the disease.

6) Apparently white Americans are more likely than black Americans to acquire the disease.

7) Poor diet has been linked to the disease, especially a diet short in iodine.

8) Late pregnancy has been linked to greater susceptibility to the disease.

9) Age is a factor. Papillary and follicular cancers are more common in young adulthood where medullar is more common in adults.

Hopefully this gives a good overview of some of the general causes of thyroid cancer.

***********************************************************************

The following I found on About.com

When cancerous thyroid nodules are discovered during the first or second trimester, surgery should be offered in the second trimester. Well-differentiated thyroid cancers grow slowly, so if the evaluation indicates that the cancer is papillary or follicular, and there is no evidence of advanced disease, a woman may be offered the opportunity to wait until after childbirth for surgery.

A pregnant woman who has previously had thyroid cancer or a woman who has a confirmed thyroid cancer who is waiting until after delivery for thyroid surgery can receive treatment that will allow TSH to remain suppressed but detectable. Ideally, the free T4 or total T4 levels should remain within the normal range for pregnancy.

Radioactive iodine should not be given to women who are breastfeeding.

Women who receive therapeutic doses of radioactive iodine should wait six months to a year to become pregnant, to ensure that thyroid function is stable, and the thyroid cancer is in remission.

Feeling groovy

Well, I didn't get the job I wanted at the scrapbook store. They will be sorry I guess. Don't know what they are missing.

I got rid of my perm and got a fun little chin length cut. The perm just wasn't me. But I kept it for 4 months any way. I will post a pic of the new look sometime when I remember to take a pic of myself.

Here is a peek at the old look. Batman says I go through little cycles of hair styles. I will cut it shorter and then let it grow out a while and then cut it again when I get tired of the ponytail or clippy look. Maybe someday, someone will give me a free makeover (that's the only way I will get one) and then I will look smashing with perfectly styled and colored hair and no noticeable dark under eye circles.

Who has time for looks when you have 2 awesomely fun little boys to play with all day? We are planning on going to a local amusement park one of these weekends soon. Spiderman's first day of Kindergarten is the 15th. I think I am more nervous than he is. He is so excited for school and really wants to learn things and play with new friends. He has a Spiderman backpack that he wanted and super hero themed supplies.

I am sad that our summer is coming to an end. It seems like we didn't get to do all the fun stuff we wanted because of the move and the break-in. I really hope all the drama in our life is in the past and we can move onward and upward. Soon we will be hunting for a new house. I can't wait for my own home to paint and decorate. I am going back to school soon too. I want to major in something art related. Probably leaning towards Graphic Design or Desktop Publishing. Of course Photography is always a very possible choice. I remember when I wanted to be an English teacher, and then a magazine editor, and then a midwife. Now I am being realistic instead of dreamy.

I got a really cool shot of the boys playing in their matching Batman pajamas. Its not often that I can get them both to look at me and smile at the same time and have the camera go off while they are still looking. Yay! If you come to my house in the future, you will see this one in a frame probably. That is the plan.

WANTED: Quiet time

The last month has been a roller coaster and I think we all need our own separate spaces if only for a few moments at a time.

Shall I start at the beginning?
1. Batman got a job that puts us closer to family.
2. Right before he started new job, ENT doc told me she wanted me to have an enlarged lymph node removed from my neck ASAP.
3. Had surgery on June 11th. My sister stayed with me to help me take care of the boys and pack since Batman had to start his new job on the 17th. Results came back negative for having cancer in them. I think I may have posted that update. :)
4. Packed up our 2 bedroom duplex while recovering from surgery. Had a goodbye party with my scrapbook friends. They gave me a cricut for moving away. How awesome are my friends?
5. Found a weekend to search for new place to live. Batman stayed with parents and drove an hour to his new job every day. Sister went back home and Spiderman went to stay with family so it was just me and Superman to finish packing.
6. Movers came to load up moving truck on June 25th. After putting all our stuff in their truck, they demanded a new price of double what we were told it would cost. Batman was 6 hours away working and I had to communicate the ordeal to him over the phone. He called their boss and it ended up that they put all our stuff back into our garage because we weren't going to pay them more than what we were quoted. Stupid scam artists trying to take advantage of a woman, all alone, with a baby. Thinking I will just pay outrageously cause I think I have no choice. I'm not THAT stupid.
7. June 28th, Batman and my dad and my bro in law and a friend of Batman's take a Uhaul up to load all our stuff and bring it to new apartment.
8. Refrigerator in new apartment is broken and will not make food cold. Takes maintenance 4 days to come look at it, then they just decide to bring a new one, two days after that.
9. July 4th we went to a BBQ at Batman's aunt's house and he gets severely sunburnt on his shoulders.
10. July 10th late at night an idiot breaks into our SUV and tries to use a screwdriver to start it and ends up destroying the ignition and steering column. So when I get up and take the boys to the SUV to try to take them to the park for Superman's birthday, I find a huge mess inside, freak out and try to get the boys to go back into the house after they think we are going to the park.
So I call the apartment complex and find out who I need to get ahold of. Complex doesn't care that your property gets damaged on their property. I ask for non emergency police number and he gives me a number but it turns out to just be security for our area. Security gives me number to police to report to. Police dispatch connects me with an officer who takes all my information and tells me here is your case number, call your insurance company. They don't try to find the criminal, don't look at the damage or try to get fingerprints or anything. They say they will post a squad car to patrol that area. !!!!! II have seriously never wanted kick someone in the balls as much as I did then. We had to pay $500 to repair damage to our vehicle that happened because some idiot decided to try and steal our vehicle. I would have no problem paying an insurance deductible if ran into someone while was driving, but i think its reCOCKulous to pay when you did NOTHING wrong. Needless to say, we changed our deductibles to lower ones while we are living here.
11. The 12th was superman birthday party day. It started out raining but stopped while we had the party at park and then went swimming the next day with my nephews.
12. July 14th I come into my living room and find out that there are chimney sweeper birds in my FIREPLACE. Not where you want birds to be. These are not pretty birds, and they don't sound good either. Their only use is to eat mosquitoes. Called maintenance 3 times before someone came to get these critters out of my fireplace.
13. Saturday was Amelia Earhart day and we went to the festival and watched the air show and the amazing fireworks. We don't even watch 4th of July fireworks cause the Earhart fest show is 10 times better.
So there you have my excitement lately. I just want good things to happen while we settle into our new place. I am almost unpacked. I haven't hung any pictures on the wall. The boys are running around the house today in their matching Batman pajamas.
I am going to get Spiderman enrolled in Kindergarten soon.
I have an interview Saturday for a new part time job at a scrapbook store. I am so excited about that.
And I felt it was time to update the look of my blog and make it a motivational aspect to make me blog more often. In the process of doing so, I lost my list of blogs that I read. So if you could leave me a comment if you read me, I will put you on my list if you aren't already there.
Thanks for reading!

Holy No Time to Post Batman

Well, here's a lot of information for you to digest.

I had my thyroid scan. Everything was negative, no spreading of annoying cancer cells.
Since my endo guy doesn't deal with lymph nodes, he sent me to my Ear Nose and Throat doc (Hereafter referred to as ENTdoc).
She felt my node and decided she felt it best if I have an open biopsy. That entails cutting open my neck and removing the enlarged suspicious lymph node.
So I had surgery last Wednesday to get it outta there.
Today I went and had my 6 stitches removed and got the pathology report.
~NEGATIVE for METASTATIC DISEASE!!!!
~BENIGN LYMPH NODE!!!!
So now I have two cool scars on my neck.

Now that we know I am cancer free, we are progressing on our move back toward our families.
Being 6 hours away from my sisters and the boys' grandparents has been un-fun. So when Batman was offered a job that is 45 minutes from family, plus a substantial pay raise, we jumped on that bandwagon. So he gets out of the company that is close to flopping and we get into the big city. We found a new apartment. It is a two bedroom, two bath, but has the same square footage as our current two bedroom, one bath, duplex with a basement and garage. We are going to miss our basement and garage, but we plan to only rent this for a year, maybe two, while we pay off debts and hopefully find a house to buy.

We have scheduled the moving company to move us on the 28th, so I probably won't be back on to post any fun reads til after that. Sorry, I know you will miss me, as I would miss you if you went away.

But feel free to celebrate on my behalf for the cancer free news!!!!

Happy to me

My birthday was yesterday. I am now officially in my late twenties. I felt like I wanted to be 21 again. I just went scrapbooking and I probably annoyed everyone around me cause I felt like singing so I sung/hummed along with every song that came on the radio.

My latest round of scans came to an end yesterday also. I did a thyroid uptake scan with Thyrogen which made me feel terrible the first two days. My birthday started out with a full body scan. Its not a good present from the NucMed tech when he gives you two full glasses of water then tells you to lay perfectly still for over an hour.

Now the weekend wait. We don't know the results until Monday or Tuesday.
Well not much else, need to go make some mother's day cards.

Made a card

I think its my most favoritest that I have ever made. And I just did it in half an hour. It was fun. The challenge was to use black+white+one color. This card is going to my friend's daughter for her wedding.

Had to share it cause I am entering it in a challenge on my friend's blog.
For Caardvarks.

Stupid neck

I think necks are worthless. Mine only has problems. And its not very pretty.
Saw the Endo man on Tuesday and he found an enlarged lymph node. Since I haven't had a cold, this is very unsettling. Endo man thinks thyroid c-bomb may have spread to lymphs. Before he found the lump he said I could have my next scan in November, but then changed his mind so I have to get it ASAP. So its scheduled for me to get thyrogen injections and scan the 5th thru 9th. The 9th just happens to be my birthday. Not only do I get to lay on a cold table, ever so early in the morning that day, but I also get to go see Endo man again and get poked in the arm by bloodninja-nurse!! WOO! (Insert sarcasm) Pending the results of the scan I may have RAI again or get my lymph node popped out. My sonographer says there is only one node thats big which is good because its isolated I guess, but she thinks I should have it removed even if the scan is good or bad.

There are a bajillion other things I would like to do for my birthday. I wish they were having a midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show. That's where I would be.

Last weekend I helped my little sisters get ready for their prom. Ahhh memories. Batman and I went to 3 proms together.

Ten years ago, Batman and I went to our first prom together. We had tons of fun. I can't imagine how much all that cost us back then. I know my sisters had to spend a ton more than we did though.

Last weekend we also went to a benefit dance for Batman's grandma who is living in an RV outside a hospital waiting for a lung transplant. The silent auction went well.
Then we let Spiderman go camping with his aunt. We joined them for smores but not for the sleeping in tents. Spiderman loved the night in the tent though. Then he went fishing with his grandpa. He also went bowling with his grandma. Busy weekend for a 5 year old.

I suck

I just can't find time to blog much anymore. I am trying to scrapbook more. I am almost finished with my wedding scrapbook, then I want to quickly catch up on the boys albums. HAHAH!! I also want to do a mini album of my sister's wedding. It would be nice if I had her album done by 7/7/08 for her anniversary, but that would be a big stretch.

Batman is being interviewed on Friday for a job in Kansas City. That would move us 6 hours closer to our family. Kind of scary cause we'll have to find a place to live and a place for Aidan to go to school as soon as we find out he gets the job. I really hope he does cause then we don't have to worry about him losing his job at any moment. So we will be in Kansas Thursday thru Sunday.
Speaking of the days....Today is National Stress Awareness Day. I am aware of my stress thank you.
Tomorrow is National Cheese Ball Day-who is bringing me a cheeseball?
Thursday is National Animal Cracker Day- I have a huge jug of Animal Crackers that I can't seem to get rid of.
Friday is Garlic Day so I will have to remember to eat lots of it, yum.
Saturday is Cuckoo Day. It is also the day of the benefit dance for Batman's grandma. She is living in an RV in the parking lot of a hospital in OKC while she waits for a lung transplant. Someone should take her a Cheeseball.
Sunday is Tuna Rights Day so make sure you don't eat any tuna that day.
Monday is Earth Day. Make sure to change your lightbulbs to more energy efficient fluorescent ones, and pick up some trash from your neighborhood and do anything else you can to save energy and love the earth.

Thats my rant for today. Busy busy. Have to change a diaper and pick up a kid from preschool. <3>

I want to....

Well I have been totally neglecting my blogging and I apologize to those that I have bored by not posting the past month. We have been battling that weird flu thing that won't go away, I got my wisdom teeth out so now I am not wise at all, and we are hunting for a new job for Batman in Kansas so we can move back there by August. That's it in a nutshell.
A friend told me to blog about myself a little once in a while for scrapbooking purposes.
Apparently I am to tell you seven things about myself, so I will give it a whirl...don't know if I am that interesting though.

1. I am allergic to peanuts. I have eaten them and they won't kill me, they just make me barf.

2. I love reading books but I never get a chance to sit down and open an actual book.

3. March 10th was the 10 year anniversary of Batman and my first date.

4. I am pretty pathetic that I can't think of seven things to say about myself.

5. I love Starbucks but feel guilty for spending so much for coffee.

6. My second favorite drink is home brewed iced tea with mega amounts of sugar added.

7. I want a puppy SOOOO bad. I think it may counter effect my thinking about having another baby at the moment. I want a tiny tiny Pomeranian girl puppy just for me.

And now, since my brain is fried from thinking up 7 things about myself...I am going to tag anyone who is still reading this...go and post 7 things about yourself in your blog and let me know about it. I like learning things about people.

Here is a few pics too just to make up for my absences.

Wordless Wednesday

My baby boy is 5 now!!

Ten on Tuesday

This is my first post of the year so I choose to show you my top ten favorite photos of us taken in 2007.

It was so hard to only pick 10...Does that mean I take too many pictures or that my kids are just too cute? LOL

Headbanz

Its called Headbanz and you can't find it anywhere anymore. I would love an expansion or something.

Dad did not figure out that his was NUTS. In the first round you ask questions to find out what your card is. You have one minute to ask. If you get it right you move 3 spaces on the board, if you don't guess in that first minute you can choose to ask more questions and then move 2 spaces if you get it right or get one word clues from everyone. I said "scrotum" when I had to give my dad a clue. How many of you would say scrotum to your dad? LOL

If anyone knows where to buy this game or the expansion cards please let me know!

Wordless Wednesday

Yep, that's my dad. During game time of our Thanksgiving get together. For some reason he seems sweaty but it was kinda chilly in the house. Maybe he was sweating from all the laughing we were doing during this hilarious game. He had to guess what his card was by asking yes or no questions. Boy did we mislead him on that one.

Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving and thanks for all your thoughts because my scan came back negative again. YAY! Still no cancer regrowth. That is awesome and I am thankful for the resources we have that help find these things sooner. Of course that's not all I am thankful for, but it is near the top of the list.

So much for wordless..

Random catch up

Where should I start?
Well on October 22nd we drove 6 hours back to KS because Batman's grandpa passed away. The funeral was Wednesday the 24th. We stayed the rest of the week in KS to help grandma out and spend some time with the family.

On Friday the 26th, Batman started feeling icky and we were battling fluids coming out the wrong end. The next day we were visiting the ER because the pain in his stomach was so bad he couldn't stand it. So they gave him some pain pills and an IV and some morphine and sent us out. Then we went back in to the ER at 11pm because the pain had not changed. They gave him a shot of demerol in his bootie and took an x-ray that showed nothing.

Last Sunday we were supposed to be driving back to IL but opted to stay off the road since Batman still felt pretty crappy.
Monday I drove all of us the 6 hour trip back home.
Tuesday, Spiderman dressed up as a pirate and went trick or treating with his preschool. Batman felt a little better and other than all of them having head colds and runny noses, things were feeling better.Halloween day, Spiderman dressed in his Optimus Prime Transformer costume and went candy begging with his preschool again. Then we took our Transformer and our Superman Monkey around the hood to beg for more candy and show off our cuties to everyone we know in IL.
I pigged out on Halloween candy all day Thursday, then Friday I got my top 2 wisdom teeth removed. Ouch. I have to get the bottom two removed in January since the dental insurance is stupid.

Yesterday I mainly slept in a drugged stupor all day and Batman waited on me hand and foot. SWEET!
Today I feel awake and I don't wanna take any more of those pain pills cause they make me feel weird, but my mouth hurts a bit still. And we just watched the KC Chiefs lose the game. In my opinion there are always crappy calls that make them lose and today was no exception.

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!

Wordless Wednesday

He is totally cute, if I do say so myself.
