Hi Ally, 

Thank you for sharing your biopsy results. It must be reassuring for you to know that you now have a clear diagnosis and that you can now have a treatment plan in place. There is information on our website on radioactive iodine therapy which explains how radioactive iodine works and which I hope you will find useful. It's great that you will have a meeting on the 22nd of October to go over the treatment plan - this will be a good opportunity for you to ask questions so that you know exactly what to expect. 

Should you wish to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses whether before or after your appointment, feel free to give them a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and they will be happy to answer questions you may have. 

You are not alone and there are other members here who have had radioactive iodine treatment before and who have shared their thyroid cancer journey. Have a look for example at johnkazza 's thread sharing his radioactive iodine treatment journey and you will see in that thread comments by MargaretMary for example who had papillary thyroid cancer and I hope that other members of our community who have had this diagnosis before will drop by and share their treatment experiences with you. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
