Negative! I am not pregnant! oh and no cancer either

Negative for thyroid cells in that particular lymph node! not to say that there isn't any somewhere in there but not today! SO was it worth the wait? the lame DR.s office said between 5 and 6 and the call was after 6:30 ! I had kind of given up hope that they'd call today! but finally they called and yeah it was NEGATIVE! i brought up the fact that they didn't test the same lymph node that they had last time, which was, I thought, what they were planning on. He dismissed that, he said with regular (every six months) extensive follow up ultrasounds they would watch for more abnormal lymph nodes or growth, and more biopsies in the future, so no surgery yet! which is fine and yet if it is ever gonna happen i want it done sooner than later. for these reasons, #1 , we have group insurance for 4 more months, after that it is preexisting, and private insurance. #2, I am not done having kids, scary i know, but really i don't want to be in the middle of this again during a pregnancy! #3 really it is all about the insurance. #4 I don't think they did the right lymph node, and if they did fine, but i want the other one biopsied too! and #5 I want another radioactive Thyroid scan, because if it lights up on that sucker, it is cancer, and if it doesn't I'll let it rest. I go to see my endocrinologist tomorrow, so we will be discussing these issues then. and also, I kind of think the surgeon is an ASS, while cute and flirty, he can be a jerk, so I think I'll be checking for more options in that arena. Thanks for the kind words, and for checking back! Negative is pretty OK! i have already started considering my options as far as gastric bypass, and pregnancy, I'm thinking bypass first, then pregnancy, then tummy tuck during C-section delivery, then a little lift and I think I'll be good. I am really digging these options! Cancer can kiss my @**!

I'm glad that you found some positive things out today...and that you will be able to speak with the dr. tomorrow and get some more questions answered. You are so brave to do the GB surgery. And to have more kids. You are my hero.

Glad they finally called you back. Hope you don't ever have to have that surgery and can just have the fun surgeries....that didn't sound right. Hope you can just have the surgeries you choose and want to have. There that sounds better. I'm up for some lipo and a lift...

Horray for now! Enjoyed the great news. I have a friend that did LapBand (loved it) and then got prego. She actually didn't gain any weight durring that pregnancy. Cool huh. She's totally loved it. And she looks great.
