Dear Doctor,
I just recently (july 8th) had thyrodectemy and will soon go through radioactive iodine treatment.
The whole body scan shows no cancer. I do have other issues I'm dealing with like hepatitis C and ulcerative colitis.
I'm wondering given my clear scan, do I really need the radioactive treatment? I'm worried about long term side effects of this treatment especially given my liver and colon problems. Is the treatment really worth it? What are the long term dangers/risks I should be aware of?
Thanks
