I had pappilary thyroid cancer (1.1mm); which was removed last July. I have postponed the radioactive iodine. with he option of not going any further. here in the last month is the best I have felt in years, and I really don't want to do the radiation now. I had my cat treated for hyperthyroid with radio active iodine. I was never told what the reprocutions could be if i didn't limit my contact with her. Now they want to treat me with the same thing that caused this. Do I have a valid point?
@sashaporter113 What point? You haven't stated the point. There's different treatments obviously, but thyroid patients in general if they go for the surgery option the doctor will state if they take the whole gland or part of it. I know a few patients might have to undergo surgery again if they just take out part of it first. It doesn't end at the surgery itself you still have treatment after. I was diagnosed w/ hyperthyroid when i was 14 & i'm 21 as of currently. I have not done surgery for it
at 1:29 you said the most common of the thyroid conditions are hyperthyroid. Actually hypothyroid is more common not hyperthyroid.

how exactly do you get the ret gene removed?
with a scalpel?
and you say that the body makes this gene... does it make it after birth or before?
