Re: Re:Cold Turkey >CT and RAI

Thanks!

I told my MD and he said that three months between CT and RAI was

sufficient!

So I guess we're still on.....

Colly,

I have experience with the CT vs RAI timing... I had a CT in November and

had my TT surgery in Jan. My doctor waited until April to schedule my RAI

to allow the iodine from my CT to pass and result in a more effective RAI.

Be sure your doctor and the nuke med people know of your CT; they may

want to wait longer on your RAI.
