Quizlets and other stuff...

( Quizlets behind the cut )

In other news, I had my 'annual' cancer check up yesterday. My doc pretty much said I have nothing to worry about, and yet he wants to see me again in 6 months rather than a year. We went a year this last time. And I'm 12 years out from my diagnosis and surgery. And about 8 years out since my last radiation treatment. But my lab results were fine. I always make the nurse give me a copy of them, and I've been dealing with this long enough that I know how to interpret them.

Oh - for my newer friends - we're talking thyroid cancer. Papillary thyroid adenocarcinoma. I had my thyroid gland removed, which mostly took care of it. Anyway... I could go on and on, but let me just say that despite the fact that this cancer has a survival rate in the 90% range, I still wouldn't wish it on anybody. Ugh. Synthetic thyroid hormone pills do NOT adequately compensate for losing the thyroid gland.


In other, happier news, I'm going to Las Vegas at the end of this month and I get to meet ozbrat and lots of other cool people and I get to see Gale's film "Wake!!!!" I'm so excited!!! If anyone else on my friends list is going, will you let me know? I need to find someone or several someones to split hotel room costs with.

'kay. I think that's enough for now. Sending positive vibes out to mlleelizabeth as she has surgery to repair her broken arm and dislocated wrist this morning. (((((((((((Liz)))))))))))
