Gail,
I haven't had a thyroid test yet but I'm going to ask my ENT about having one when I see him Thursday. If he orders it, I'll have to go to the hospital for an extra blood draw or maybe they can do it when I go see the med oncologist in three weeks for my normal follow-up there. They are already taking blood at every follow up to check my WBC and whether I'm anemic still (at last check, I still was a little which is another thing probably contributing to the tiredness).
Glenn, thanks for reminding me that the fatigue is normal, especially the second time around. I actually didn't have severe fatigue the first time around during rad and chemo for the oral cancer--at lest not until a week or two into recovery where I did have a couple of weeks where I was just tired all the time. In fact, if anything during the end of my treatment last time I had insomnia. Probably because I had to wake up every 1/2 hour to hour anyway to spit out phlegm and was afraid I'd choke if I was in too deep a sleep. Anyway, at least I don't have to worry about that this time around!
