TO GREEN OR NOT

Thanks Fiona

You know the thyroid thing still doesn't make sense to me.  I was really cold/tired amongst other things  for the last two chemos.  Started radio pretty much straight away after chemo and was starting to feel better.  Then went to Doc (onc request check for diabetes) 3 weeks into radio (Tues), blood test Wed, and the doc surgery rang me Thurs to come straight down. (Receptionist couldn'tell me why on phone) I had a small car accident on the way - as you may imagine I was stressed!!!  Got there and my whatever count was very high --- and take these tablets.  To say I was angry would be an understatement.... Anyhow took the tablets, and I don't feel any different!! Went back and got checked again 2 mnths later - just a tad over - no need to adjust.  Went back again 5 mnths later - just a tad over -  no need to adjust. - During all this I have had trouble with a rash - it inflames everything and sets me back - dermatitis doc is undecided what it is.  But now I know where the thryoid is I am sure it swells up during the rash outbreaks - and I get alot of thyroid symptoms.  Takes quite a while to recover.  So I havent had this rash since 23 June, next month I need more tablets so will have it checked again. We'll see.  Maybe I'm kidding myself.  Oncologist appt in 2 months I'm already writing my list of questions.  Might be a long appt.

Sorry you copped an earfull - I just don't understand all of this - and understanding is very important to me.  But I'm prob trying to understand the un -understandable .... oh well
