Not a good day. I was about to say "at all", but the class-giving part of the day actually went fine. We did the Cat's Meow lab with the eighth graders, and that one is both fun and easy. One of my soon-to-graduate student aides popped by to say hello, and it was delightful to see him again.
Things took a turn for the worse after lunch. Rather than go into details, I'll just say I've never had to deal with a hostile work environment before, and I've been working pretty steadily since I was 15 years old.
When I finally got to leave campus, I had just enough time to get to my endocrinologist appointment. Sadly, my Tg, the thyroid cancer tumor marker, is elevated again, from 3.4 last year to 4.9 this year. As last year's PET scan was negative, the doctor this year is sending me for an MRI. While the increase is troublesome, it does not indicate an aggressive recurrence. I think. We'll see.

I know you'll hang in there: you've been through these tough times before. Let's hope that this is just one of those false alarms.
