Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Hi: Once again I am confused. I thought that when you go for your first 6month scan, you take the pill and its the small dosage and then come back several hours later for the WBS. ff all is well you are done for awhile. If not, then you come back for a larger dosage and either get admitted to hospital or go home and then come back in about 7-10 days for a WBS. I've been reading posts that say they get the dosage come back, then wait a few more days and come back again. Please explain, unless I am reading these posts and not reading them correctly.Thanks....Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right - if it is clean, you can go off the LID, go home, email us with the good news, and celebrate :-) > If not, then you come back for a larger dosage and either get > admitted to hospital or go home and then come back in about 7-10 days > for a WBS. Yep. Same as when you had the first treatment. > I've been reading posts that say they get the dosage come back, then > wait a few more days and come back again. That's because there are some doctors who do more than one scan before RAI, and some who do several afterward. I have had just one before and one after. See, you're not as confused as you think :-) Cheers, Alisa Currently - TSH 0.02, 140mcg Levoxyl 2/15/2002: Nodule found 2/27/2002: FNA 3/4/2002: Hysterectomy/oopherectomy-possible ovarian cancer - BENIGN!! 4/9/2002: TT - Stage 2 pap 2.5 x 2 x 1.6 cm nodule, dx Hashimotos 5/28/2002: 100 mCi RAI 12/16/02: WBS (5 mCi): clean scan - no thyroid tissue in body!!!
