I also had swollen salivary glands. It didn't start until 6 months after RAI. It lasted several months and got worse at meals. Now the problem seems to be not enough saliva production. I had uptake in the neck area and other places as well. I am doing thyrogen this week and get my scan on Friday.
Thank you for that feedback. I keep reading about parotid tumors etc etc. and I am stressing myself out. I did read however that it is normal to see uptake in the area of the salivary glands as well. Good luck with your scan this week!
Thanks for the kind words, and good luck yourself tomorrow! Let us know how you get along.
