Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 > Dr. Burman (chief of endocrinology at Washington Hospital > Center in DC) repeated the same thing at yesterday's seminar > - he considers 100 mCi to be pretty much a minimum treatment dose. That is also the minimum treatment dose at my hospital where they aren't terribly scientific about it....the rough guidelines are: 100mCi's if contained to the thyroid bed, 150mCi's with lymph node involvement and 200mCi's if distantly spread (lungs or bone). I had lung metastases and my doses were slightly over 200mCi's. Marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
