What a week! I am finally back to feeling like my old self. I owe this entirely to Synthroid. It was unbelievable to be thinking clearly at my job, doing house chores, and generally feeling awesome again. It makes me feel so bad for people who have undiagnosed hypothyroidism.
I had my last cancer-related doctors appt on Thursday: a post-RAI whole body scan. It came back clean, with only residual thyroid bed and most of the left side of my neck (former site of the tumor) lighting up on the scan. The RAI should kill it all off in the next few weeks. So the nuclear medicine doctor said I am good to go for a year. I'll have a few endocrine appts over the next couple months to get my snythroid dose right, but other than that I am done with cancer stuff for awhile. It feels so good to write that! We had a celebratory dinner at Red Lobster last night, courtesy of my in-laws. Thanks!
And I rode to work twice this week, so I guess I have returned to training somewhat. Though no plans to race in 09 still. Just getting back to normalcy feels like plenty for me for right now!
One last shout out to my buddies Jason and Scott who raced Timberman this weekend. Nice races guys! I gotta get up to NH and do that one now that I live in the Northeast.
