pregnancy after radioactive uptake

Hi dr.

Just wondering I just found out today that I am pregnant but I just had a full round of Radioactive uptake done the first week of October.  I have a call into my dr but don't know what to expect him to say.  They know my levels aren't where they are suppose to be and my papillary thyroid cancer is present in my lungs now but they can't find the tumor.  My Tg level is 140 this is how they know. Do you think the dr is going to tell me the best option for me is to abort this baby?  what else can I expect him to say?

Hi,

this is indeed a hard situation.  However, if you do want this baby I am sure that things can be done / managed.  Go for a second opinion, if need be.  Try to get in with a specialist obstetrician if this is your decision to proceed.

Wish you all the best.

I can't answer your questions, but it sounds like you might have some tough issues to deal with.  Maybe some of the other members will be able to answer your questions.

I wish you the best of luck.
