My thyroid was removed 2 months ago, it was only 1.1 cm big and now I have to decide to have or not to have the radio active iodine treatment. My dr says the benefit is very little and it could do some harm (increase risk for secondary cancer). There are no signs for the cancer in my blood, nor did they find any cancerous lymfnodes when they did the surgery. What should I do? How much do I lower my chance to get the cancer again by having the treatment?
thank you,
