I am so pleased that you all are so positive about this. I know that it could have been a much worse diagnosis, so I feel very fortunate. Sometimes a good scare can make a person re-set their priorities in life and remind us that we are just here for a brief time in the scheme of life. I go next week for my Thyrogen, tracer and scan. My insurance company denied my doctor's recommendation for Thyrogen and I had to put it on a charge card (of all things to have to charge!). I have my son's wedding in May and I wasn't about to go hypo right before his wedding. I remember being so weak that I could barely walk up my staircase. I wish much luck and prayers to everyone. I'll keep you posted on my results. Thanks for your comments about tall cell. I don't feel quite so alone out here. xoTara
