Good news on a Sunday

My endocrinologist called today (just let that sink in--a Dr. making calls on Sunday) with the latest biopsy results--the thyroid cells they were able to harvest this time look benign!

What have we learned? Don't let the generalist in Radiology attempt a difficult thyroid retrieval--let the specialists do it.

Results are being forwarded to the surgeon who will now be able to just remove the right side and we hope that the left side will pick up and make enough thyroid hormone for the missing side.

Can I get an "Amen"?
