Cancer No. 2

I got my latest blood test back today. My T3 and T4 levels are (still) as normal as ever, but my TBG levels are elevated. (That was a new one for me. “My what?” I swear they invent this stuff just to test for it.) So what does that mean?

Well, nothing really. “We see elevated levels when the nodule’s benign, but also when it’s not.” For reals?! Endocrinologists should moonlight as politicians. They’ve got these lines down.

But for real reals, it is good that everything else is still maintaining. Ned is most likely short-circuiting anything my left thyroid would usually do, so it means my right one can most likely keep everything going on it’s own once it is on its own. I'm terrible at taking a daily vitamin, never mind a daily synthroid.
