Thyroid Nodules and Iron Levels

It has been another year since my last post and I am feeling great.  I have had CT scans every 6 months, but will no longer need them.  It has been 5 years since I had Hodgkins and Dr says I am still clear of any cancer.

Over the last month I have had 5 medical appointments.  My last scare was a biopsy of a couple nodules on my thyroid which turned out to be benign.  Then the CT scans and Dr followup.  But my iron levels are still high due to hemochromatosis and I had another phlebotomy this week.  Additional are scheduled every month until I get my iron levels under control.

It has now been 9 years since I had the BMT and over 11 years since my first bout with blood problems.  Praise God that I am have endured and doing fine today.
