Radioactive iodine treatment- 10/28/09

This video is when I get a therapy dose of I-131, 101C1. It has been 9 hours so far and my stomach only feels a little weak, not bad. I am so excited. I am holed away in my bedroom and I already am very tired of being by myself. Small price to pay I know.

my sister's cat had a thyroid problem, but he was very old and very late in being diagnosed. i can't imagine how you stayed away from your cat! i really hope you did stay away from the cat though. i mean you have to keep your distance or it can hurt you! i do have to take thyroid supplements on a daily basis for life. i was told by a doctor that without thyroid meds, first i would go crazy and then i would die. we need our thyroid to live! love my medicine!!

I had this done in Toronto, Ontario...but only one person was in the room at the time I took the pill...probably so less people were exposed to the radiation...

iodine pills better than liquid to avoid salivary gland absorption of a radioactive iodine or ask her to suck a lemon to clean the salivary gland
