- Re: LID before Initial Low Dose RAI Scan

September 5, 2002

Hi Kathy,

Actually I think that the main ablation dose that you are referring

to is the one that you mention on Tuesday.

See my doctors said the same thing. They said that they were going

to do a " Low Dose RAI and scan " and then if they find anything then

they were going to do a " 100mci RAI and scan " then if they find

anything again then they would put me in the hospital for a higher

dose and be an " inpatient " .

So at this point in regards to you and me both, I don't actually know

what is considered the ablation dose. Most that I have heard from on

these boards go right into have a large dose first, or at least that

what it seems most do. I of course can be wrong about this. Maybe

or someone can give us a better understanding of this.
