Tanya's Journey

On September 14, 2011 Tanya was diagnosed with Metastatic Papillary Thyroid cancer.

I am planning to keep this page updated with the latest news for anyone interested in following her journey from diagnosis through surgery and on to recovery.

Spleen Ultrasound Results

We heard back from Dr. Lee (Tanya's surgeon) this afternoon with the results of the spleen ultrasound, and it is good news! The spot that Dr. Lee saw on Tanya's spleen from the chest CT appears to be a cyst, and nothing that needs to be worried about right now. We will have it looked at again in 6 months to see if anything has changed. For now it is one less thing to worry about.

Still Waiting...

We are still waiting to hear back on the results of the Spleen Ultrasound that Tanya had on Thursday. We hope to find out the results early this week, and also get confirmation on the date for surgery. I will post more as soon as I know more.

Ear Nose and Throat (Dr. Hsieh)

Heard back from Dr. Lee's office this afternoon with information on which Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) specialist they want Tanya to see.  Looks like it's Dr. Hsieh (pronounced Shay).  Dr. Lee has talked with Dr. Hsieh and he knows Tanya's history.  Tanya was able to schedule an appointment for Tuesday morning.  Sounds like he will do a laryngoscopy and maybe a biopsy as well.

We are still waiting on when and where the spleen ultrasound will take place.

Still waiting

We hope to hear today about which Ear Nose and Throat specialist Tanya will see.  We got a call from one yesterday and Tanya set up an appointment, but then heard back from Dr. Lee's office regarding seeing someone else.  Hope to have the confusion cleared up today.

We also learned yesterday that Dr. Lee has requested a Ultrasound of Tanya's spleen...  Waiting to hear when this will take place as well.
