Not understanding 6 month test another RAI?

by hope4thegoodstuff, Oct 12, 2009 11:27AM
I go next week for 6 month cancer check
I drive to Des Moines Monday and Tuesday for shots _ to get my tsh up?  But I still take my meds
Then Wednesday I go up and get another radioactive pill, but not a strong one like before, wait six hours and get a full body scan.  

Does that sound right?

Yes it does sound right.
The radioactive pill is to put dye through you to make sure all the cancer has gone.
It's nothing to panic over and is routine.
You usually have to have this done in a years time too.
The worst is over....I promise.
Take Care :)

Thanks darlin....I appreciate you getting back so quickly.

Can I get your opinion?
I can either get my labs done this week or wait two weeks after the thyrogin...I'm thinking maybe I should do it this week...didn't know if the thyrogin would throw my labs off, even after two weeks?

I have gone from hypo to hyper in 3 days lol.
You will be fine....sit back, relax if you can and just know the worse is over.
Get yr labs done BEFORE.
Hugs x
