Good advice for @san99999, Kevin. San, were you able to discuss your report with your oncologist? What are your next steps?

@kevink, how is your wife doing?

@thyroid2023, I'm sorry to hear that your daughter has ongoing complications. I can understand her interest in stem cells, but I offer caution. There are claims out there that thyroid and endocrine patients can be treated with adult stem cells called autologous mesenchymal cells, which are stem cells that are derived from the patient's own adipose (fatty) tissue. There are no published studies on this therapy's efficacy, safety, or use. I don't want her to be attracted to promises of charlatans.

My wife is currently on a low iodine diet preparing for Thyrogen shots tomorrow and Tuesday and then receives the radioactive iodine pill on Wednesday. We were told to isolate from each other for 7 days. Ten days after radio-iodine she will go in for a scan to view results of RAI.
