Thanks for responding! May I ask you if the iodine treatment made you feel sick? Also, how did you isolate- at home? in hospital? I hope the treatment works for you. I also have a more aggressive type of cancer, which is why they are recommending the iodine treatment. Thanks

I went on a low salt iodine diet for two weeks. Then had injections on 19th and 20th. Second injection made me tired but no other side effects. Took the pill on the 21st. Drove myself to the hospital that day since idk not want to have any around me. Drove home and then began isolation in our home. We are empty nesters so I took a bedroom, bathroom and a third room so I could isolate, watch tv and work via my computer. I first day, I was tired, took a nap but no other side effects. Isolated for 5 days from wife. As far as food, wife prepared everything, all on dishes that could be washed and I took the back to kitchen and I washed with soap and water. Laundry 5he same. Kept isolated and washed with no other clothes. Toothbrush isolated and bagged after a week and will toss in trash after days. Advice is you just follow their instructions. I am sorry and wish you the best. I know this is hard, mind consuming and my advice is one day at a time. Good luck.
