Anyone have RAI a second time?

loonette

Just went back for a WBS in which some tissue remains on the right side. Had TT 7/09 for papillary carcinoma T2. At that time I had 150 - 160 millicuries RAI on 9/11 of all days. Thought that would be the end of it. Oh no. Endo says that she wants it all to be gone. There is no metastasis and cancer markers are low. Now, she wants to give me a higher dose. Anyone experience RAI more than once and what happened after the second time? Thanks for your input!!
