Testing 1-2-3

Its been a LONG week! And its still not over! Testing 1: Tuesday I went in for the radioactive survey and only partially passed. At a distance my levels are good and I go into public and have casual contact, but at close I am still radioactive which means I still can not go to work because I work with kids upclose and I still have to sleep alone without my husband or dogs! I keep telling myself its better than the alternative as chemo/radiation and being sick and losing my hair but that doesnt help me much at night when I have to go to bed alone when I need the comfort from my husband the most! Testing 2: Was today at Arlington Cancer Center for the thyroid cell scan, this shows if the radiation went all to the thyroid area or other places in my body that may contain cancer. Painless procedure just very nerve racking to know that there may be other areas containing cancer still. The test is over but now I have to wait until Monday afternoon to get the results from it. I guess the biggest concern is "sometimes" thyroid cancer cells go to lymph nodes to and in some cases they need removed to depending on the situation I guess. Testing 3: Tomorrow (Thursday) I go back for another radiation scan to check the up close range again although I was told yesterday that more than likely I wont be able to go back to work until Monday! Ugh! I know I should just relax and concentrate on getting healthy! Good news is I can start synthyroid tomorrow morning so soon I will start getting some energy back on the road to normalacy again. Since Friday I have slept about 90 percent of day and night! Its the only thing I seem to want to do right now is sleep!! Of course the doctors are yeah so sleep its normal it will get better! I guess the best news no matter the outcome of the radioactive test tomorrow is I am clear enough to at least go to church this coming up weekend, we havent been able to go the last 2 weeks and I am so ready to go back! Looking forward to it! Now however its time for another nap!
I'm Blessed
