Cannot have RAI because TSH levels won't go up...

[Melwain30]

I had 2 surgeries to remove Thyroid...Well after two weeks of low-iodine for RAI my levels are going lower. First week was 2.93 (TSH)...Yesterday 2.63 (TSH). RAI scehduled for today was re-scheduled again. They think there is thyroid residual left and possibly another surgery will be scheduled to dissect my neck to look for more thyroid glands to see what the problem is...Anyone been here before...I need advise...

Seems to me that a tracer RAI would be in order and a baseline CT scan if you did not have one already to see exactly what is holding up the process.  Can your doctor try Thyrogen shots.

Sorry if this is duplicate info, no time to read your link info.
