They were pretty easy even for someone as culinary-challenged as me and they taste pretty good :)<br /><br />And I'm glad your RAI date is set.

As of right now, he didnt tell me to change my RAI date. We'll see. <br /><br />We talked about the thyrogen route, but for some reason my doc decided against it. I dont know exactly why. My impression is that it had to do with the severity of my cancer, but that might be wrong. Anyway, he did say that there is a shortage of it, and im not getting it. <br /><br />As far as being a better cook goes, i think thats debatable. So far ive basically spent alot of energy and time trying to figure how to fry everything, which as you know has been met with varying success. Those biscuits you mentioned on facebook sounded tasty! Anyway, thanks again and i hope you get good news from the PET scan.Nick Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11880499050625172816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823218131008634460.post-44314698144007015412010-08-23T18:00:40.984-07:002010-08-23T18:00:40.984-07:00Nick,

I was actually taking that before I started my LID and had to stop...but the good news is at least it does leave your system way faster than Synthroid so you might not be set back too bad.<br /><br />Have you talked to your doctor about it yet? Cuz there's a drug called Thyrogen that they sometimes give people before RAI treatments or scans so they don't have to go off their meds at all. They just inject you with it (two shots in the butt!) a few days before RAI and for some reason that I still don't understand it makes up for not being off of synthroid/liothyronine for two weeks. Last I heard they might actually be running low and only giving it to certain types of patients and it's kind of expensive but it might be worth asking your doctor about. <br /><br />I hate being on this diet for extra-long too. But at least we'll be better cooks, no?<br /><br />- RGAnna N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18061521769858952616noreply@blogger.com
