Thyroid cancer update!

Post Reply New Topic

So i had my thyroid removed on haloween 10/3112 ! lost my voice for 4 day(and oldly enough i was very happy when i couldnt speak but missed my vocal stims) my throat was very soar and unpleasent for a while but after about a week it was mostly normal. i still have scar pain frim time to time and sometimes when im melting down i feel like i have strep throat but i am better for the most oart.
i went on the low iodine diet after thanks giving (this diet was aweful!) and recieved my RAI early indecember and had a full body scan on the 17 a few day or a week kr two later i got the news that my thyroid cancer is in remission!! !! !! there are No signs of it anywhere else in my body!

Now to get my thyroid levels balanced! I hope they get the right balance soon so I can be done with this up and down in my food, energy, wieght ect

It seems odd though while the thyriod supplement levels are unbalance my sensory issues are also more unpredictable.

That is good news about your cancer being in remission!

I am glad to hear that your thyroid cancer is in remission. Hopefully the thyroid levels will be balanced soon.

I glad to hear that your cancer is in remission. If you want to make sure that it stays that way, I recommend eating a diet of only organic foods, nothing that's "processed" or contains MSG or preservatives (junk food and most everything you would find at WalMart). It would also be good to take vitamins, esp. Vitamin C as it has cancer fighting/preventing properties. If you want more information, you should watch the documentaries "Forks Over Knives" and "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead".

Awesome, great news! It took about 6 months to get my thyroid leveled out after discovering I was severely hypothyroid but I'd imagine that was on the long end and I actually felt just about fine after the first three months...the rest was tinkering .

That's wonderful!

I'm glad you are in remission.

I don't think it's that odd at all. Thyroid hormone affects pretty much every function of the body. So I'm not at all surprised that it affects your sensory issues.

I had an overactive thyroid due to Graves Disease and I was so irritated by things like noises and lights etc that it was unreal. My thyroid is not overactive any more (and thankfully I don't have to take ATDs for it any more) and my sensory issues are fewer though still in existence.

I am glad to hear that your cancer is in remission.
You should try to eat as less white sugar and flour as possible for a while.
Healthy cells have an oxygen-based (aerobic) respiration and cancer cells have an anaerobic respiration, which means they can only survive on glucose (feed themselves from glucose).
White sugar and flour give high levels of glucose in the blood.

great news...remission! YAAAAAAAY!

That's great Honestly, I kind of envy you for having an excuse not to talk for four days. Sometimes I'd like to pretend I can't talk, so that I can just rest, you know? Talking is mentally taxing.

Do you have a nutritionist? Do they know how to work with people who have disabilities? They really need to take your ASD into account when they work with re-balancing your diet. If you have to spend all your time organizing your food, or can't stomach things thanks to sensory issues, you're going to have problems no matter how well the diet would work theoretically. Make sure to find things which will make it easier for you. Yeah, you could spend all of your time making sure you follow a diet; but you've got to have a life, too, you know? When you're autistic, sometimes things take a lot longer than they do for NTs. Make sure your nutritionist knows that and takes account of it.
