Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 Hi, - > My endo is not planning on doing a tracer dose and scan. Is this > unusual? Not really - some doctors do a pre-scan, others feel that it's not important, or that the small dose could interfere with the uptake of the larger dose. > I will be getting an ablation dose of 100 on 2-10-03, and also won't > have a 24hr urine. Your dose is a common one. From what I've seen in comments from the group members, most people haven't had the 24 hour urine test. Some doctors don't do it, others do it routinely, and others use it only in certain circumstances (like with someone who's had a CT scan within about 10 months or so prior to the RAI). > Finally, he did give me a very liberal " LID " , but on it bananas, > pinapple, and chicken were excluded. Can anyone explain? Thanks! LIDs vary quite a bit, according to where the doctors get their diet or their list of iodine content of different foods. I can't give a good reason why those particular foods would be excluded. Personally, I chose to follow the ThyCa LID.
