Thanks everyone for the support, its appreciated.
Well we all better buckle in for at least 2 more months of insanity. The appointments yesterday were not the best (meaning I didn't hear what I wanted to hear) but they weren't all bad.
Diagnosis: Stage 3 Medullary Thyroid Cancer.
Treatment Plan: Remove Thyroid, radiation treatment, possibly chemo then HRT for life because I have no thyroid.
Problems: Due to the effect the excess thyroxin in my system is having on my heart (the thyroid controls hormones that get sent to the heart to help tell it how to do its thing... well they are being sent in the wrong concentrations) and how uncontrolled it is the anesthetist and the cardiologist both want to hold of surgery. So I have to keep going with the meds and hope that improves the cardiac events for the next 2 months. In that time, because the cardiac events give me blackouts I have to surrender my license. So lots of blood tests over the next 2 months and fortnightly ultrasounds of the tumors to make sure they aren't growing or doing anything worrying. For now the oncologist is happy to wait... which, despite the diagnosis, has to be a good thing.
I'm pretty bummed I had to hand in my license because that really isolates me but seeing as they can't get the medicine at the right levels so I'm not bat shit crazy all the time its not like I need it. There are buses and trains and trams... I can get by. I have to get the cardiologist to sign a medical release for me to have it back and my next appointment with him is in 2 months.
I feel like I really am in a holding pattern, need to fix this to fix that to fix the problem I went there with in the first place. Oh well it will be fine when its fine. Just playing the waiting game.
