Hello,

I was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer and had my whole thyroid removed, received radioactive iodine therapy, and am now taking 250mcg of levothyroxine for thyroid replacement therapy. I was diagnosed/ had thyroid surgically removed in February and feel like I am really tired. Find myself getting winded even just walking the mall. From what I am told this can persist up to two years and to keep pushing through to gain lost strength and stamina back up. My TSH levels dropped this month, hence the increase from 225mcg to 250mcg. The hardest part for me is waiting for the follow up scan to see if the radioactive iodine therapy did the job in killing the remnant cancer tissues or if I will need additional therapy to do the job. Best of luck on your journey.
