Hey Girl we miss you too! I was just thinking of you today. I haven't had the RAI but know that it is pretty yuk. I know someone will come along and offer you the answers you seek.

I am looking for some people who have had RAI twice and the duration between.... Read post above.
THANKS RODEO

Hey my dear friend.  My sister went through the RAI three times.  The worst thing for her was the salivary gland issues (take tons of sour stuff!!).  The first time the cancer was in the lymph nodes and thyroid bed, second time same place (but the Tg wouldn't go down), third time the higher dose found it (and killed it) in her breasts.   Don't fear the higher dose - it is meant to track it down and kill it.

Take some time to yourself my dear friend and send me an email!
