LID- how long after radiation pill?

C2E
Hi! I am wondering how long everyone had to stay on the LID after the large dose of radiation? I have heard mixed answers from my doctors- from 24 hours after to the whole 3 days. Have my pill tomorrow and I am so nervous about how I will feel, isolation, etc. Wishing everyone well out there with ThyCa

I wouldnt know how the treatment there goes.But for me, in where i live , i was warded for 3 days and 2 nights. Complete isolation.I took it easy. It was as though relaxing it out after working for all these years. Was watching movies and surfing the net. Anyway best of luck with your treatment.I am from Asia, if you are wondering in which part of the world i live. Take care!!!!!!!!
