hey jj - welcome back
i've noticed too that I go back and forth between what I call "being a patient" and trying to get back to normal (the "new" normal now).
Like you, the good news at the moment is that I am not dealing with the actual cancer, but the ongoing complications, after effects. It sure is a relief that it is not cancer but the ongoing stuff gets annoying.
My sister had Graves disease and ending up doing the iodine pill treatment and now her thyroid's balanced, she still takes the daily thyroid medication and will need to everyday (or until they find a different treatment). But she does not have ongoing problems anymore. I think she was relieved in a sense to find out about the Graves disease since it explained a lot of the symptoms - we all thought it was stress & overwork. So, I'm glad to report that she is doing well, I hope you'll have good luck too in resolving that.
