HOT OFF THE LINE
I just got off of the phone with my endocrinologist. He has received the surgical pathology reports and said that of the 20 lymph nodes that the surgeon removed, 6 were positive for microscopic spread.
The new plan will involve stopping my long-acting thyroid supplementation and converting to a short-acting hormone for one month. Then going cold turkey again for around three weeks, with the onset of our favorite Low-Iodine Diet (sticks and twigs, here I come), and another home-bound Radioactive Iodine treatment with a higher dose.
The good news is that I should have the meds straightened out and feel better for the holidays. The bad news is that, all things considered, I'd rather be consitpated than have cancer.

Succinctly and cogently put.
I'm glad there's a plan of action in place. I just hate that you have to deal with more meds, etc. for awhile. But you'll get through it!
And you should know I didn't have to click on the Senokot link. I know EXACTLY what it is. ;)
Good luck with the glowing again. I have to become radioactive in a few weeks. I may come to you for some sticks and twig recipies. :P
