Actually I'm working on a post tentatively called, "what did cancer ever do to me?" where i reflect that most of the side-effects are from treatment rather than the actual cancer.<br /><br />Random question, where did you get the music player from? I keep searching for one, but can't seem to get one that works.robshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225162527623813932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112198016745174278.post-54749729058858387382010-02-09T23:10:37.158-05:002010-02-09T23:10:37.158-05:00I love the name of your blog, which is my pet peev...I love the name of your blog, which is my pet peeve...that thyroid cancer is the "best type of cancer to have." What's that?! Geez...<br /><br />Side effects for me post-thyroid cancer & recurrence are very similar to yours with the exhaustion, neuropathy, memory, etc. I appreciate you listing these and the others commenters that have chimed in. Although I wish none of us had these symptoms, it helps to know these things are not just me being crazy, that others have had this experience.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your blog with us...CharlcieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17732204343388144996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112198016745174278.post-15012852699359315562010-02-09T22:59:35.102-05:002010-02-09T22:59:35.102-05:00I have had a lot of the side effects you listed. ...I have had a lot of the side effects you listed. I don't know how long ago you had your surgery, but for me the neuropathy at the incision site eventually went away.<br /><br />It's been 4 years since my TT and RAI and I'm still tired, confused, moody and cold. Luckily my family loves me anyway.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13452222385341564331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112198016745174278.post-15663119027719780642010-02-08T22:50:49.947-05:002010-02-08T22:50:49.947-05:00Too many to list ...Too many to list ...Dariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10806073037988154854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112198016745174278.post-3817533818523457022010-02-06T14:20:07.697-05:002010-02-06T14:20:07.697-05:00I can certainly relate to some of the side effects...I can certainly relate to some of the side effects you have listed, but the one that troubles me the most at the moment is that my memory has gone out of the window!Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204635978443190089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112198016745174278.post-61757660133911294842010-02-06T11:10:57.537-05:002010-02-06T11:10:57.537-05:00I've never read about another thyca patient fa...I've never read about another thyca patient fainting. I had a heart condition as a teen which had totally resolved. However, every time I have a WBS and then get RAI and have to be ramped up on my synthroid again, I start fainting, especially with stress. I've been to a handful of specialists and they all say it is my blood pressure that is the problem, but also say it's totally unrelated to my thyroid or cancer (yeah, right!!). Just wanted to let you know you're not alone - as I was thrilled to find out likewise!<br /><br />A hilarious post about fainting I posted last summer:<br />http://turquoisegates.blogspot.com/2009/08/what-could-possibly-go-wrong.html<br /><br />You can also just go to my blog and search "fainting" and you will get about a dozen posts about it, if you're interested.<br />http://turquoisegates.blogspot.comTurquoise Gateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757439386076840547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112198016745174278.post-33746383798701662682010-02-06T05:36:22.593-05:002010-02-06T05:36:22.593-05:00tadaah! exhaustion and insomnia - check.
I think ...tadaah! exhaustion and insomnia - check. <br />I think I had depression, because after this weeks 'NO CANCER' result, I feel like a million bricks were removed from my head. But not really bad depression. So, half a check.<br /><br />I am always cold - but I've always been always cold, so doesn't really count. Everyone can send me their Snuggies and electric blankets thank you!<br /><br />Confusion?? Ah yes, chemo brain. Maybe radiation brain in your case? It's well documented - I am officially an air head. I don't care - have iPhone, will synch! ;o) And, this will cheer you up - it <b>DOES</b> get better with time.<br />Lack of concentration - check.<br /><br />I only had altered taste during chemo, so I am lucky. I did faint randomly once, ending up with stitches in my head, but that was a one-off too [thank goodness!].<br /><br />I think most of these things will improve - your body and mind have taken an awful battering. Try to go with the flow [she says...] and wait for things to get better. They will. :o)<br /><br />Have a good weekend!<br />xl'optimistehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09822694635023060681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112198016745174278.post-47818366042926710112010-02-06T04:36:23.838-05:002010-02-06T04:36:23.838-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112198016745174278.post-11387181095394675412010-02-06T04:36:15.218-05:002010-02-06T04:36:15.218-05:00:)

I have officially banned the following gifts after this past Christmas: all forms of Snuggie, electric blankets, and thick polyester pajamas. Ha! Who would have thought I am not alone in receiving such "necessary" gifts! I know my husband cared when giving me the Sunbeam electric blanket this Christmas, but still, I'd much rather get some artsy present, which would not make me feel 82, but my actual age-28. :)<br /><br />ZhenyaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
