Endocrinology
I went to the endocrinologist's today and met with a nurse practitioner She has decided that a thyroid scan should be my next step, given my history. Now we just have to schedule one, preferably not at the Worcester Medical center since it's not just a one-shot deal. Once I'm injected with radioactive stuff I have to come back at different intervals to be scanned. And that would just be a pain in the butt, driving back and forth from Worcester to Burlington a couple times a day for two days. Luckily the Leahy Clinic dominates the view out my window, so I'm hoping to have it done there.

Sarah,
I hope you have it done close to home also. The scan is much less invasive. Let us know when and if you need someone to be with you. You know I can try to do a little nurse mothering!
Love you,
Mom

Good luck with it - I hope they let you do it at Lahey. They have a very nice endocrinology department there and you can't beat the convenience of the location.
