hello... lover!

meet jimmy, the python.

first body scan post cancer-free status

i started my low-iodine diet the day after thanksgiving. this time, the diet lasted 2 weeks instead of 10 days. the 4 extra days is even more excruciating. and having to endure 3 holiday parties while on this diet is torturous. i also missed a baby shower because of this damn diet. boo...

nov 24th, friday - start low-iodine diet (no black friday for me!)

dec 5th, monday - get 1 of 2 thyrogen injections at o'connor (and not in upper butt cheek this time! big surprise!)

dec 6th, tuesday - get 2 of 2 thyrogen injections at o'connor (side effects were major fatigue, i wonder if that is the difference between the types of injections)

dec 7th, wednesday - i-131 pill to be administered in nuclear medicine at o'connor (no bloodwork required!)

dec 9th, friday - whole neck and body scan in nuclear medicine at o'connor

results of the scan after were clear. in fact, dr lim (in the past, dr yen has been my nuclear medicine physician) indicated that my body reacts to iodine the exact same way, every time. if you threw up all of my scan results (this was my 8th, i think), you wouldn't be able to tell when which scan happened as they all look exactly the same.

jan 26th, thursday - official scan results and follow-up with dr bruhn

booties!
