Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 Hi Thyca pals, I am preparing for my radioactive iodine treatment on 1/8/02 and am wondering about your experiences on coping with the hypothyroidism and radioactive iodine treatment. So far, I have been off Cytomel for a 11 days and I'm starting to notice fatigue and absentmindedness. Tomorrow I start the restricted iodine diet. Yum-Yum. To give you some history, I'm a 39 year old Mom with two young children. I had my entire thyroid removed on 11/8/01 when a 6.3 cm papillary nodule was discovered during surgery. Fortunately, the doctors said the cancer has not spread so my prognosis is good. As I face the unknown of " going hypo " and radioactive iodine, I think hearing from others who have " been there done that " will be helpful. Thanks, hallsj@... :-)=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
