TODAY -- BIG DAY
After a couple of weeks of being off her thyroid medicine and on a low-iodine diet, Lisa is having her nuclear scan done today to see if there is any remaining thyroid tissue in her body or if the thyroid cancer had spread anywhere else. She is feeling pretty crappy from the no medicine and diet. But she's been told some people actually end up so weak and sick they are in a wheelchair at this point. But not her -- she is a trooper.

We've been told that, depending upon the doctor who does the scan, we may get the results today ... or we may not. Please join us in praying that we do get the results. If, based upon the test results, additional stronger radioactive iodine is needed to kill any remaining tissue, she will need to stay off of the med and on the diet until that can be done. Ideally, that would all be done very soon.

So please also join us in prayer that we get an "all clear" after the scan.

Thank you for your prayers. We are upheld by them ... in the arms of our Saviour who loves us and yearns for us.

Good grief! I can't even go two days without my thyroid meds without a meltdown...I can't imagine how Lisa must be feeling.

You all are in my prayers. Hang tough!

Thanks Jules. It is tough.

We did find out late yesterday that Lisa does need radioactive iodine treatment to kill remaining tissue ... we do not know the extent of it yet though and are waiting on a call from the hospital.
