    Thank you. My mom just got total thyroidectomy a while ago and I’m frantic about the long term management of this. This has really helped me understand more of what she’s going through and made it easier for me to help her through this.

    In the Netherlands Holland some hospitals say a diet is not nessesairy they say there is no scientific proof that the diet helps for the treatment. And some hospitals here do advice to follow the diet for a week... What do you think and for how long do you recommend this diet?

    I’m wondering if I will need radioactive iodine treatment. I had a total thyroidectomy on February 24th and had my follow-up treatment on March 12th. The pathology confirmed papillary thyroid cancer with metastasis to one lymph node. I see my endocrinologist on March 24th and my surgeon said at that appointment, she will discuss the possibility of radioactive iodine treatment treatment. I am a 60 year old male.

      I will be having RAI during the week of April 13th. I am currently on a low iodine diet and will have injections on April 13th, 14th and will ingest the radioactive iodine on April 15th. I do not have to stop taking my levothyroxine.

      @@manishk1512 I'm doing well. I had three radioactive iodine treatments in 2020 and everything seems okay. I do have the BRAF gene mutation so my doctor and I are vigilant about possible recurrence. I am on 200 mcg of levothyroxine daily.

    Great explanation, I got my thyroid removed in 2021 due cancer , I had liquid oral radiation small dose because the nuclear doctor said that I had nothing but just in case to prevent liquid oral radiation small dose . I hope it did the job . Also a I have a lymph node that got biopsy in 2021 it was benign, but this year 2023 it’s little bigger and it’s kind a bothering me ( no pain) , having an ultrasound this Tuesday . 🙏🏼

      I had a total thyroidectomy in September 2018 due to thyroid cancer. On June 1 2020 I had a biopsy on a lymph node in my neck and was positive for cancer again. I had surgery on June 8 (mid neck dissection and right neck dissection) im at home recovering and waiting on next steps. Radioactive iodine therapy is likely my next step since it reoccurred in less than 2 years. I’m only 41 with 4 kids ranging in age from 18 to 3. It’s scary I know. God will protect us
