Hey, the chemo was better once I was on an appropriate dose of thyroid hormone.

The main ongoing side effects I notice are: I overheat more easily (poorer thermal regulation) and my energy/endurance is somewhat lower than before starting the targeted chemo. I've been slowly losing the weight I initially gained before we got the thyroid hormone back to appropriate levels.

A rapid regrowth is definitely troubling. As I've said before, after my conservative surgery I had monitoring for 5 years with zero regrowth. After about 15 years regrowth was caught on a dental X-ray.

I've been thinking about it a lot, and I'm wondering whether all these CTs are actually necessary for just monitoring. High-resolution Panoramic X-rays are a lot cheaper, and that's all I had the first time around.
