What do you want to know? I had thyroid cancer and radio-iodine treatment and while your experience might be different from mine, I can give you my experience.
I'm guessing you are out of hospital now as you posted this three days ago? Once I had my radio iodine treatment, I then just had to wait for the result of the full body scan.
A year later, I had another full body scan, thankfully with only a very low dose of tablet so no stay in hospital or anything which confirmed the all-clear.
Since then, I've had blood tests twice a year and an ultrasound once a year to ensure I've remained cancer free.
But the radioactive iodine was the last actual treatment and I'm just hoping it will remain that way. Had that four years ago next May. And I was at higher than average risk for recurrence due to a large malignancy on the thyroid (6.7cm) and eight positive lymph nods.
