proper RAI treatment ??? questions

July 13, 2003

I had my TT on May 23 at a hospital approx. 2hrs away from home. So I

decided to find a local doctor to do my RAI so I wouldn't have the

distance to travel post-RAI. Anyway I have a handful of Endo to

choose from. I consulted one doctor who doesnt really want to treat

me, wants me to go back to the initial hospital. I told him my

concerns about the travel. He is quite rude to put it politely. Then

I get a call from Nucleur Medicine that he schedule a RAI scan. I was

told not to eat seafood and to not take meds for a week. I asked are

you sure that I only come off my meds for a week??? He said well you

have to clear that with your endo if you should be off longer. I know

this doesnt sound right to me from what I have read. Is the ablation

supposed to be before or after the scan? I scheduled a appointment

with another endo 30min from here to see if he had any more medical

knowledge then this doctor, since it seems to me this one didnt want

to treat me cause he doesnt know how. I appreciate any input on this

I could get.
