Drumroll please...
The pathology report is finally back!!!!!! I had papillary carcinoma (yipee - it is one of the most curable cancers) and the lymph nodes were negative!!! That is good news. I will of course request a path report when I'm at Barnes next week to read exactly what they found, but it is some kind of papillary carcinoma and that concentrates iodine. So if I take radioactive iodine that should kill any remaining cells. I have an appt with a radiation oncologist on Nov 9 and will get the iodine that day. I have to stay at least arm's length away from people for 48 hours afterwards. Then I will have a body scan on to see if there is any remaining thyroid tissue or if there are any mets. Mets should be unlikely with negative nodes. The most important good news is that I get to take thyroid hormone on Nov 10!!! WWWWoooo HOOOOO And now I definitely have to finish my secondary applications!

Charity, we are so happy to hear these results. Kelly called about 10:15 last night, and we were just so excited.
Take care of yourself.
Awesome!!!! What great great news!!
I was praying for you on the way to work this morning....that somehow God would use this situation for some type of good-- whether it be to make you an even more compassionate doctor someday, or maybe deepen your trust in Him or who knows! You have learned a lot about prayer over these past few months I'm sure...something that I think many of us just don't get.
Love you!!!
YAY!!! I'm soooo happy! We get to celebrate on New Years, yes? ;)
That is awesome news! :) :) :)
I could bring lead home from work and give you a big fat hug if you would like!
I am so happy and excited for you Nurse Charity. You had better get on those apps so I can call you Doctor Charity.:)
