....2) My thyriod was LOW (he said most likely due to the Seroquel I take to help me sleep)

Hmmmm. That is very strange, because I switched to Seroquel from Risperdal (because of dystonia) a few weeks before I got my thyroid tumor. This runs in my family, but maybe it was just enough to trigger it (given I was already under a lot of stress at the time)? I had read the monograph on it and did notice the mention about suppression of thyroid (I think it was reduced free T4 or raised TSH or both), but didn't think it would be very significant since I was only taking a tiny dose. The tumor was benign, but it sure grew fast. I still have half a thyroid, yoo-hoo Jerry, did your endocrinologist give you any thyroxine or Cytomel?
