Hi @hrscott01, I'm tagging @camdynsmom so that she sees your question about how her daughter is doing.
@hrscott01, you may also wish to talk part in the forum for adolescents and young adults with cancer here:

The group also meets monthly on Zoom:

Great news to hear that your scans have been mostly clear. Did you have to miss school during treatment? How are you doing with TSH suppression treatment?

Thank you so much!
Yes, I missed about a month of school to recover from my surgery, and radiation made me miss a few more weeks as I went through hormone withdrawal, which effected me significantly. I also had to go to physical therapy for about a year as I still have very bad nerve damage in my neck and shoulder from the surgery. The hormone treatment is a little rough but I am used to it by now; I have my appointment next week, and I'm hoping things will stay clear. Last I checked, they are keeping my TSH very low to be safe.
