Tall Cell Subtype, maybe RAI avid, TG levels are extremely high

Thank you so much for your reply! Since the surgery, my mother is doing well, but she is traumatised by the whole surgery experience (she had be tracheostomised and couldn't speak for 20 days before the doctors roved the tracheostomy tube from her neck) and has black outs every single time we visit a doctor's clinic, even if it's for a simple flu. She cannot and does not take fear amd anxiety well, her body immediately reacts. This is what is concerning me the most, because more than the physical effects, my mother will be mentally affected by the side effects. Otherwise, she has no other symptoms. We are due for a check up on 10th May, and the doctors may suggest Lenvima or another round of RAI. I am just praying that whatever happens, it happens for the best for her interests.

I am sorry to hear about your mother’s reaction to this traumatic experience. Did you ever hear of Gilda’s Club? It was named after Gilda Radner, the SNL comedian who was dealing with cancer. It’s a place where people who were diagnosed with cancer can meet and do things to heal their minds while healing their body. They have a website and now have several locations; they offer assistance and support for people dealing with cancer. They have yoga and healing programs and people to talk to about dealing with cancer! I have directed a few people to them and they said they were great! It might be a good resource for your mother to consider; it sounds like they take the focus off cancer and put it back on living and doing things. Even if you do not live in the area of one of their locations, it might be worth calling them for information. Good luck!
