Hi everyone,
This is my first post. I have lots of questions about thyriod cancer. I had a TT on May 17, 2007. I am at home recovering well. I feel great. My neck is still a little stiff and not much of a scar to be noticed. My doctor has recommended RAI on June 27, 2007. I am not taking any meds and I have begun a low iodine diet. I would enjoy any info on foods appropriate for this diet. I have four children under the age of 11 and I am very busy. I had a TT after finding a nodule that turned out to be cancer. Mixed papillary and follicular. How soon will I go hypo. How will I know? What can I expect after RAI? What about my children. Thanks in advance for any answers you give.

Have u checked out the thyroid board here? They have some GREAT people there that may be able to help u with your questions. I also have thyroid disease. Graves and did the RAI in Feb. Went into hypo hell really bad and just started on replacement therapy.

But try the thyroid board there are allot of well informed people there that have gone thru the same type of thing as u have!

Good luck 2 u!
