It’s out! I had posted a while back about getting a biopsy - turns out, one of the nodules was a T5 (on a scale of 6, pretty much meaning 80% Chance of it being papillary carcinoma) so the doctor said we gotta take it out. I’m on 125mg levo (was on 75mg before surgery) and I already feel more awake!
