I just took my I-131 today. I had my whole tyroid removed but still had some cancer cells behind. So far I am 5 hrs in and had a very upset stomach. But other than that am thankful for my care team . Thank you for explaining this to me that I can totally understand.
@@markbrown5117 I just went through it and had my body scan done last Wednesday. I See my surgeon for a follow up in the morning. I will be asking why the right side of my neck and my right ear is still super numb. Also, my right shoulder is still painful and I cannot reach for anything up high without pain.
After taking ionized iodine. How much time it takes to get rid of cancer cells and nodules. in case of Follicular carcinoma. Thanks for advising. WE remain for reply.
I don't know if this is true, but I've taken thyroxine tablets my whole life! It's not a worry, you just take it every morning, its a very small tablet you take half an hour before you eat. You take this once a day and it truly has no effect on your life. You get regular (3 months or so) blood tests and appointments to check if your thyroid levels are high from taking the thyroxine tablets.
I told my oncologist that I would not take radioactive iodine. The tablet will negatively affect other glands and ducts in your ears, eyes and throat. DONT DO IT. This person just wants a paycheck. Also, all hospitals have a patient bill of rights. You have a right to refuse any treatment as long as you are told the consequence of not getting that said treatment. Peace out.
