Ian,

How long were they in isolation. I've heard you go home and stay in

isolation. How awful! I've been trying to read as much as I can about the

RAI because this is what scares him the most. I will let him know what you

said.

Thanks so much

Sorry Becky, I missed this when you

first posted it.

I've given RAI to 4 teenagers, all

of whom took to it easier than my

older patients did. Something to do

with youth? I don't know.

As long as he understands that the

treatment is not painful (it isn't)

he should be ok.

Becky

He is likely to excrete the radioactivity very quickly so he will not be

radioactive for terribly long.

The exact rules will depend on the hospital. Some are stricter than others.

Isolation is not the same as imprisonment, he needs to keep his distance, not

be shut away.

What are your circumstances? What is his home situation?

Why is he not doing his own research? It would probably do him good.

I waited to have RAI for 6 months after my TT because I wanted to nurse my

generally a slow-growing cancer.

HypoHell is different for everyone. It is the time you are off all meds

prior to RAI and afterwards until your meds start kicking in again. This is

one of those times this group says YMMV. (your mileage may vary) For me it

was no more than some increase fatigue. I needed an afternoon nap for a few

days after RAI. Otherwise I really felt okay. Other people don't fare as

well and have trouble thinking, and other problems.

The best thing you can do is get as much information as you can. This is a

great place to do that.

that you can wait. I was breatfeeding my baby when I was diagnosed

with it. After the surgery the drs told me that I could wait at

I know that even if you are pregnant at the time that they diagnose

the thy ca. you can wait to have the baby and even breastfeed for a

while . Yes thy ca geow very slow so is ok if you have to wait. The

hypo stage is the period when you tsh is going high (this has to go

al least to 40 so you can get the RAI treatment) but is different

for everybody. I have read about people who get very hypo and feel

very tired, muscle aches, not energy, problems driving...etc. In my

case I guess that I have been hypo for a long time ( I mean years)

but nobody know that was my thyroid. So when the Dr told me how I

was going to feel I was expecting feel very very bad. Surprise a

week after my surgery my tsh was rigth for my RAI and the tsh was

102.68 and believe me I never was feeling so good. They did the RAI

a week later (my tsh was 250) and I was fwwling tired in the

afternonn so I think is different the way that people feel.I hope

that this help

Sandy:

I am Jim (48) and I am from PEI. I had my TT in Halifax in late August 2001 and

my first RAI in Charlottetown in late October 2001. The Doctors usually wait

about 8 weeks after surgery before they do the RAI to ensure that the naturally

produced thyroid horomone in your body has been depleted. So 8 weeks or longer

before surgery and RAI is not unusual. The length of time that you have

described between surgery and your RAI treatment should not affect your long

term recovery. I will leave the " hypo hell " explanation to one of the others on

the server who are much better at describing its effects.

Good luck, Jim

P.S.:

I think when women don't have bad symptoms from their fibroids, they may take

the wait and see approach. I took the wait and see with b/c pills approach

and eventually had to have an embolization. I was a little concerned when

1st diagnosed w/fibroids, but when I found out they weren't cancerous, I was

relieved and then able to decide what to do about the fibroids. For me they

were a nuisance at 1st, but then as time went on, they diminished my quality

of life and something had to be done. Good luck to you.

[Guest guest]

Hello Pam,

I just read your e-mail and can relate. I just found out 3 days ago I have a

fibroid in the size of 9 cm by 8. I am 33 years old. I got very upset and

worried. My Gym recommended me also to have myo, or to take my uterus out. It

is all new to me. I am afraid and confused myself. I guess the next step is

to talk to people and see what they went through. Be strong. I know I am

trying to.

[Guest guest]

Hi Pam,

Welcome to the group :-) You are right in seeking more opinions. The birth

control pills should help regulate the bleeding, but that's about it. The

pressure, constipation & frequent urination are because of the size of your

uterus pressing against your bladder, back etc. Birth control is not going to

change the size of your fibroid. I've been on birth control for about 15 years

because of heavy, painful periods and it has definitely helped. For the past 2

years however I've had breakthrough bleeding 1-2 times a month in addition to my

period and so just this past month I was diagnosed with fibroids.

My uterus is about the size of a 5 month pregnancy, and is beginning to press in

on my bladder. So far I've been fortunate enough not to have problems with

urination.

At least your doctor didn't recommend hysterectomy like many have (the first gyn

I went to did). From what I have read women have become pregnant after myo's,

although you may have to have a c-section because your uterus has been weakened.

Your doctor may not be comfortable with doing them.

There may be other options out there for you as well, so don't give up the

fight!

Hi Pam

I'm 26 years old and I also want to have children in a few years. My

fibroids are submucosal so I guess the treatment is a little

different. I was on BCP since I was 17 because of heavy bleeding,

but I don't know if I had fibroids then. When I was diagnosed with

fibroids, my doctor put me on BCP continuously so I never took the

placebos and I wasn't supposed to have bleeding. I still had some

bleeding that got progressively worse. My fibroids have always grown

a lot while I was on BCP but I don't know if that was because of the

pills or if they would have grown anyway. Because mine are a

different kind, I had hysteroscopic resections and didn't have to

have an abdominal incision. I had this done 4 times and the fibroids

have always grown back right away. I don't think my doctor removed

all of the fibroid because she said it was difficult to remove

without possibly rupturing my uterus. Now my doctor has suggested a

Mirena IUD. It releases progesterine and sometimes stops fibroids

from growing and from what I've read has even helped to shrink them.

Right now I'm on Lupron to reduce the size of fibroids so the IUD can

be inserted. It seems like our options are kind of limited if we

want to have children later on. It seems like a lot of women do have

children after the myo procedure without problems. It probably

wouldn't hurt to try the BCP first since that is less invasive. Make

sure you have regular ultrasounds to make sure the fibroids aren't

growing while you're on the pills. Good luck.

Pam,

I did the birth control thing for my fibroids. I had been on them already,

but went to another stronger brand. That helped for a whole, but eventually

my symptoms got out of control and I had an embolization. I know some women

are helped by them, but they don't get rid of the fibroids.

[Guest guest]

Dear Fibroidian Sisters,

This may piss a few of you off (sorry), but I feel it needs to be said.

TICK, TICK, TICK......

Everytime I read a post that someone in their early 30s with fibroids

say, " I want to have kids SOMEDAY " , I can't help but think, " NOW is the

time girlfriend " . I've read posts about fibroids and miscarriages.

Also about myos and c-sections. I KNOW from experience that a

miscarriage is NO FUN (mine was not fibroid related). And if that does

happen, recovery time is required before trying again. You may think 40

is the age to have kids, but believe me, the 40's are better for

teenagers than diapers.......

I'm sure you all have a GOOD reasons for waiting to have kids, but we're

not only fighting the biological clock, we also have " monsters " that fit

into the equation.

Please don't wait till it's too late.......

oke

Cant have kids if u have not met the person u want to have kids with... no

oke,

I have to admit .... I'm one who was offended by this note. I've

sat here internally debating this for a few minutes, and finally

decided that I just had to respond.

I'm sure you offered this comment with the best intentions. The

science is pretty clear on the evidence re: issues involved with

childbearing in later years. But for those of us who truly have

wanted to have children before reaching our late 30s, yet haven't

met the right man for marriage, reminding us about the biological

clock ticking away is a lot like rubbing salt in the wound. When I

was in my early to mid 20s, I had a personal goal of having my first

child no later than age 30. Well, here I am at age 39, staring the

big 4-0 in the face later this year, and still maintaining my goal

(and hope) of marrying and bearing at least one child. Visiting the

local sperm bank isn't an option that appeals to me. So .... I'm

left to do what's in my control to find the right man for me in what

often seems to be an ever-dwindling population of qualified

prospects (because I refuse to " settle " simply to have children, or

simply to be married).

So .... I'm not responding to berate you for posting your comment,

but really to ask for a bit of compassion for those of us single

women who desire marriage and children yet haven't made it there

yet ... and not because we've been delaying these life events, but

because we haven't yet been fortunate enough to have those cards

dealt to us.

,

Point well taken. I guess my comment was not too compassionate. Sorry.

I just wanted to shake up the girls who have put off kids due to career,

or can't afford it right now, or are in the wait and see mode with their

fibroids. My point is, don't " wait and see " too long. Look into that

myo. The wait and see thing is fine for us nearing menopause, but maybe

not for you still looking to have kids. oke
