    Are you out ???

    You will be feeling relieved to be out i guess, but still desperate to see you children. It s not long now , and the feeling from that cuddle will be fantastic when it comes.

    Hopefully you re feeling well, it didn t take me too long to stop feeling nauseous. Eating normally again helped me with this i think. I take 200 mcg thyroxin daily. I know people who take more and several who take less, your specialist will help you find the right dose, however, your thyroid function test results will continue to freak out your GP, if ever they do them, as they will be completly different to those of someone who hasn t had thyroid cancer. My consultant warned me of this and i now just refer them to him if they have any queries.

    You re hopefully over the worst of it now. My advise would be to get your support network ready though. Looking back at my treatment and surgeries i can see that i was strong while i was battling through. It was when i got my first clear scan result that it all hit me, much more so than it had before. I have since found out that ths is quite common. Be prepared for that by talking about it as much as you can.

    Sending lots of love
