Thyroid Cancer & Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
I had a Total Thyroidectomy due to papillary thyroid cancer. I am now post-menopausal. It is a good idea to take Bioidentical Hormones? Also, I avoided iodine for the RAI scan. Should I avoid iodine all the time? Thank you for your response.
Thank you for response!

Hormone therapy (HRT) for menapause is an independent issue from the thyroid cancer -- it is not problem from thyroid standpoint, but sometimes HRT causes changes in levothyroxine (thyroid medication) doses. You can have iodine now -- we just avoid it around times of I-131 treatment or scanning.
