Hi all, after my first round of radioiodine just before Xmas,I am starting to feel better,as I said my papillary cancer is extensive in my neck and now mets in both lungs,I felt very tired after radioiodine but starting to get better now and able to walk dog for an hour,my taste is returning .I seen my consultant who’s happy with how I’m progressing with treatment,back on my thyroxine which is 50mg over my normal level getting me ready for a double dose radioiodine in April ,so back on low iodine diet end of February and April for radioiodine,then after a rest from treatment I will be having beam therapy oh by the way I will be getting married in July to my lovely partner Wendy .regards love and peace to all Tomo xxxxx
I am still waiting for follow up appointment with the Oncologist @Tomo. Good to hear you are feeling better, I think it does make you feel more tired, I have been too at times. I was lucky enough not to lose my taste up to present, sorry to hear that you did, but good that it is returning. You still have more treatment to do then, I hope it all goes well for you and best wishes for your wedding x
