Good morning, Amber. Oh, I've gone beyond the T3 and T4 testing; you've got those right! They came back normal, but given my health history - my MD ordered an ultrasound, back in January. That showed the presence of a cyst and some small, calcified nodles (nothing I wasn't suspecting), so the next step was the thyroid uptake test. That's the one that requires nuclear imaging. The radiologist wants to get a better look at the lobe, and test it's function at base line, four hour, and twenty four hour intervals. That's a lot of room for 'abnormal' to creep into the equation, which was why I was so surprised that my test came back clean, given that it's been doing it's own thing, since surgery in '87.
