Here's a photo of my cancerous thyroid and lymph nodes after they were removed. Neat, huh?

My current stats:

Thyrogen-stimulated Tg 4.0, TgAB less than 20
(down from hypo-stimulated Tg 16.7 in Dec. 2009)
WBS negative

Scan Negative, Tg 4.0

Good news: WBS is negative; Thyrogen-stimulated Tg is 4.0.

It seems there is less thyroid tissue in my body, and my Tg seems headed in the right direction (down). Even applying Dr. Ain's one-third rule ("Thyrogen-stimulated Tgs are about one-third the level of hypo ones"), I still come up with 12 (4.0 x 3 = 12.0), and no matter how you slice it (and believe me, I've sliced it every which way!) 12 is less than 16.7. So I feel good about it. It seems headed in the right direction.
