Hi, Well today I received my uptake test results and they are not good. The dr. says that my Thyroid took 100% of the iodine. I'm so sad, scared and very nervous to say the least. The Dr. is still pushing RAI, I start PTU tomorrow and he told me that this would not work from me (to put me in remission).
I'm so heartborken too. My husband and I are planning on taking a trip at the end of this month. I was told that I can't do anything that would make my heartrate excelarate. No hiking, kayaking, no snorlking, no parashooting or parasailing. Ok I'm sorry I didn't mean to dump this on you.
Anyways back to my question. I don't really like this doctor. I feel as though he is trying to pressure me into making a decission quick and I can't. He's also talks to me like I'm on a death bed or something and I know this is serious but still.
Should I change doctor or just wait it out? Also is surgery easier than the RAI drug? I'm not sure what I want to do. I'm kinda of scared of surgery like I"m not going to die or something. Also the RAI scareds me too. Which is the lesser evils?
Thanks everyong
