Ditto on the Thyroid tests and make them do the detailed test not just the basic test. I have spent countless days not feeling "right" since the radiation ended. It was 2 years after that the thyroid hormones were looked at (my request) and found to be severely hypothyroid. Without a target value based upom a pre-event test it was guesswork for many months (and continues to be) I regret this more than any other (mal)treatment I received. such a simple thing over looked by so many for so long.

Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
