MedHelp Member's Question

thyroid cancer

by leslyer, Jul 21, 2008 07:27AM

In a 16 yr old patient scheduled for whole body I131 scan should she remain on synthroid for the scan or ablation or stop the synthroid? We always stop the synthroid but a pediatric endocrinologist disagrees. What do you suggest?
Thanks for the help
