Tall Cell. Basically, I have heard little about this even though I was
diagnosed a year ago.. I wonder what our cure rate is? I'm supposed
to have my Thyrogen on May 12 with the iodine and the scan to follow.
I'm very nervous this time to find out my scan results. My lab showed
my levels off. Most of the time I remain upbeat, but lately I've been
concerned about it. I'm so glad that others are out there willing to
share their stories. I hope people continue to post about this rare
type of cell to help give us peace of mind. Thank you, Tara"
Dear Tara,
Good morning,
It's profoundly comforting to hear from others diagnosed with tall cell, not to feel so alone, isolated and in the dark about the diagnosis.And it's so great you and Nurserobin are responding to emails so promptly. Thank you. So far I haven't seen any cure rate for this cancer. Like with all cancer diagnoses -and really, with life itself- it's a combination of looking death squarely in the face, accepting what is inevitable for all of us human beings, our mortality, impermanence, and yet also fighting for our chance to live, to thrive and be well. I send you my hugs, prayers and good thoughts to help you get through this upcoming scan. love, Victoria
