Just wanted to give you a quick update!

1. Dr. Richard Robbins (National Comprehensive Cancer Network Panel Member on Thyroid Cancer– went to Yale and Cornell) has agreed to see me after a couple of phone conversations with Dr. Zhang who I work for. Dr. Zhang was told he is the best Thyroid Cancer specialist in Houston and so we will give him a go. I called the liaison back to schedule the appt and am now just waiting for their return call.

2. Over the past 3 or 4 days it is getting increasingly more difficult to swallow. I have a call into my endo doctor, they will probably do an ultrasound – since the last one they only scanned my salivary glands.

3. I have an appointment today with the dermatologist, but I woke up today and my face is 70% better! WHEW!! I guess 8 antibiotics a day does the trick!! :-)

4. I felt kind of icky for a couple of days but I had accidentally forgotten to take my medication. I feel great today and am FULL of energy! I think just the fact that my face is clearing up is lifting my spirits!!

Ok, I just wanted to share the news about getting approved to see Dr. Robbins (he only takes doctor to doctor referrals so Dr. Zhang came through for me!!).
