Well, I guess I panicked for nothing. Because there has been a shortage of Thyrogen for an OUTRAGEOUS two years, the nuclear medicine department at U of M is overbooked. I won’t have my scan until July 16, which means I will start the low-iodine diet (we thyca survivors call it LID) on July 2. Plenty of time to get myself down to Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s so the experience doesn’t have to be so horrific. I guess I will be snacking on apples during the fireworks this 4th of July, and I won’t be eating spaghetti the night before my annual 5K. That’s okay, because I am about to drink my coffee, and much to my delight, I don’t have to go “creamless” for another few months.
The journey continues!
