: Should I postpone RAI ?? [TC]

[Guest guest]

???????????

I don't think thyca cells die for themselves but I'm not a doctor.

Are you having a tracer dose before RAI? I think that you shouldn't stop any

treatment unless there is something that shows you are 'healed' :-)

So... I think you should discuss it with your endo and your nuc-docs before.

What about getting a tracer dose first to see what's in you and THEN discuss

rai or not to rai.
