Hi all, I am just wondering if anyone would kindly share their radio iodine experience with me? I have a low/ medium dose beginning of July and have been told I’ll need to stay in hospital for 1/2 days then return to isolate at home. I’m scared about...
Hi, I'm finding it difficult waiting for my histology results, I had my right half thyroid removed following a U5 scan result. My FNA was indeterminate and classed as thy3a, so I went ahead with the recommended hemithyroidectomy. It's been 4 weeks and...
