Hi All
I just wanted to share a little good news with this lovely group as when I first joined it was really nice to hear the positives. My daughter has just completed her radioactive iodine therapy. 2 nights in the hospital mostly spent alone without mum( not sure who was sadder there me or her) I felt such relief when that pill was finally in her and working it’s magic. No bad side effects, can’t say she was that brilliant at flushing herself with water and without me there constantly nagging her she probably didn’t wash that often either! Kids eh, but her levels dropped amazingly quick the team said it’s because of her age. She was allowed home today she’s very happy to be back and not have to follow the awful diet anymore. we are all just absolutely wiped out but very happy that it’s done. If anyone can share their experiences with the scan that follows and what to expect she has that on Monday and I have mixed feelings about it would be nice to know others experiences.
Thanks for the info.
Your daughter is such a brave little soldier. Wish her the speediest recovery!

She’s an absolute Little Rock star! I’m so glad her RAI is done and she is hopefully able to be treatment free now

From a conversation I had with a MacMillan nurse I think they know RAI will be done in some cases if the person is having a total thyroidectomy? She explained that RAI is done more often than not after TT because it doesn’t matter if it kills normal thyroid cells because there’s no thyroid left and is a good way of trying to minimise recurrence

Interested to know what the scans were like? I’m due to have my RAI soon and was wondering the same x
