Morning everyone! Well the day has arrived and I’m about to go into the building to start my RAI treatment. So glad it is here and I’m going to get over this next step. Thyrogen injections were fine and I had no side effects so that was good. I’ve been told I can eat and drink normally after I’ve taken the radioactive tablet! Great! I’m so looking forward to a decent cuppa!! My dose is 3.7 ? standard I believe? Wish me luck xx
This sounds great! Well done you!!!
My anxiety re the injections is still with me. I shall be so happy when it’s over.
You will be fine and relieved when it’s over. Let us know how it goes xx
Well the treatment is done! Phew,
the injections, which I was dreading, were fine- the first better than the second which was the right way round! The stay in hospital was fine as far as my reaction to the treatment went. I drank lots (!) and they sent me home on Wednesday saying I would only need one night sleeping alone and could be with children on Friday. I hated the food and the difficult shower but hey, it’s over!!
I’m sitting in my garden listening to the birds and planning a holiday. Life is good.
Ho Gold Finch- that is great news! You can now get on with life! It’s a great feeling. Enjoy xx
It really is! Everything seems greener and more alive. Part of life’s journey.
