I was greatly surprised and encouraged by the immediate responses to my defeat message. Being a depressed -pessimist it was not expected. I was asked about my thyroid. I had 1/2 of my thyroid removed back in the 80's, pre-cancerous. But every time that the remaining half is tested I am told that it continues to function as if the entire thyroid was present at normal level. Apparently, the healthy side took over when the cyst invaded the other side, rendering it useless. As a result I have never been prescribed thyroid medication.
