using thyroid hormone to supress Papillary cancer

[Guest guest]

Hi.

I started using thyroid hormone on Monday to suppress a Papillary Thyroid tumor.

This was suggested by my Endocrinologist since I plan to wait at least 6 months

before having surgery.

My concern is that I think it's giving me shortness of breath and nervous

tension and I'm having to work extra hard to keep calm and relaxed. I'm hoping

this is temporary while my body adjusts to the hormone. Every alternative

cancer protocol I've read emphasizes reducing stress so I'm worried about the

increased stress I'm feeling-- it's not unlike having had too much caffene. I

wonder whether this is really doing more good than harm.

Has anybody else done this? When can I expect my body to adjust to the new

levels, and does artificial thyroid always feel a little different from natural

thyroid?
