Hi Bob ! I am Annebee from Norway. I had my right thyoroid removed 18 may-21 and beacause of canser they removed my left in aug.18 -21.They found small traces of canser in the left too.Nothing in my lymps. I been very lucky and had no pain or sore.Started with 100 mg Levaxin and will have my first control 1 okt. then radioactiv iodine 10 nov.So i wonder why they wait with yous ? Hope you get better soon and i hope to hear what happens next.I know so little about the iodine treatment.

Hi Annebee,

So nice to meet you… my dosage is at 200mg.

I did not have any Cancer outside the one Thyroid Node and non in the Lymphatic System.

We have chosen to hold off in the Radioactive Iodine and “Wait and Watch”. Close monitoring will be by blood work and Ultra Sound. If there is any signs of Cancer Cells or activity I will do the RAI.

The one drawback to the RAI for me was the 20% to 30% possibility of drying up the Salivary Glands although my Endocrinologist said the likelihood of that happening was lessened when a low dose of Iodine is used…under 100.

Thank again and I look forward to staying in touch.

Bob
