Guest guest Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 While we were discussing Vern's options yesterday, the endo mentioned that up to 200 mCi RAI is done as outpatient. Did not seem concerned that the pt. might ride for 2 hours or more next to a driver on the trip home. Vern said, " i'm not taking a dose that would endanger my wife! " Thankfully, endo agreed 300 was a better dose for him. However, he is scheduled for only a two day stay, so it looks like he will still be glowing pretty good when he is discharged. If the weather is bad we'll be riding side by side in a 4wd pickup on the trip home. Otherwise he'll be in the back seat of our little Ford Contour. I already take synthroid, could this kill off what little thyroid function I have left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
