Hi i had initial RAi in 2006 was clear, my TG has been coming bacl 0 since 2006 but i now have metasstase in the lung and neck lymph plus thyroid tissiue.
I am due second RAI tomorrow.
6 months ago I did my first RAI, 150 mci, tomorrow I am going to do my RAI scan........I might need second one as I had metasstase in my lungs...:( on that time they told me that I need to do another surgery and follow up with another RIA treatment.
But my TG reduced from 32 to 3.2, 1 and now is 0 but still They are not sure till I get body scan.
I am so stressed out...I can not till tomorrow aft.
Do you have any experience with 0 TG and positive papillary cancer?
Hi there.. Yeap I reluctantly had RAI 6 months after surgery.. I'm probably due to zap the final remnant tissue sometime soon.. not fun.. Is thyrogen readily availbale for you? Its not available here, so I have to go cold turkey..
Thanks for the posts. I figured my one time may not be it. I hope so.
I had RAI three years after my cancer diagnosis due to recurrence. I had 100mCi. I'm probably looking at another treatment dose this year due to increasing TSH and Tg levels. :-(
My sister had three doses of RAI within three years - I think that she started at either 100mCi or 150mCi (sorry, brain fog). Her last dose was over 225mCi.
Yeah . . . fun. :-(
I was diagnosed 22 years ago. I had first RAI 2 months after diagnosis, second RAI about 10 months after diagnosis and am now scheduled for a third RAI due to a recent recurrence. I just had surgery on Friday. So the third RAI is 22 years after diagnosis. Geeze, even I can't believe that and it's me, lol.
