Iodine radiation treatment

Hi Helen 

I presume you have thyroid cancer? 

This has its own group

Best wishes

Hi Helen

My sister in law had thyroid cancer in her 30's. She had her thyroid removed and had iodine radiation treatment. Can't remember all the details but there were some precautions she had to follow during the treatment. She is now 65 and powering along. She has to take regular medication to make up for loss of her thyroid but has not found this a set back.

Best wishes to you for the treatment.

Thanks so much Sophie 66 for replying . Just pending surgery now and whilst trying to keep my head positively focussed, I know my body doesn’t feel quite right (neck-shoulder pains/sickness/exhaustion) so your feedback has really helped Thankyou x

Hi Helen

This is the worst time the waiting. Put your faith in your medical team as they will see you right. All you can do at the moment is try and distract yourself although I know that is not always easy. Project yourself forward a few months and you will be well on the way to recovery.

Sending you hugs
