Real quick update. I went to my doctor's appointment yesterday. All 9 nodules were found to be benign. Which means no cancer. Yay!!!! I decided to try some medication for 3 months to see if they might shrink. They say that the 3 largest are degenerative. So they may respond to medication. I did a lot of research online though and there have been no studies that prove that the medication shrinks the nodules. So, we'll see it's worth a shot to avoid surgery. I am also hoping that the medication will help my symptoms. They also found I was low on vitamin D and vitamin B12 which can add to fatigue and anxiety and depression. So, maybe those supplements will help me feel better too.
Since my doctor's office is in Scottsdale Dwight and I went and celebrated with a Sprinkles cupcake afterwards. They are my favorite cupcakes ever!!!!! I love them and they are divine. It might not have been the greatest choice however considering I also found out I am pre-diabetic. :( When she told me I almost burst into tears. That is my worst fear. I watched my father shoot himself with insulin for most of my life. It terrifies me. I am doing a test where they monitor my glucose levels constantly for 5 days in January. I think it is because of my weight gain and that if I lose the weight my blood sugar will go down. I just need the thyroid medication to help level out my hormones so I can lose some weight. But, let me remind myself once again, I don't have cancer. :) Now off to volunteer at my kiddos school because I love them. Thanks for checking in on us. I love you guys too!!!!! Merry Christmas!
