3rd Round of Radio-iodine Treatment Begins May'07

My third round of I-131 Radio-iodine treatment begins in May. This means I start the low-iodine diet again and come off of the thyroid hormone, thus becoming "hypothyroid" for a month.

The tracer dose will be given on 05/21/07, and the subsequent imaging and calculations will be conducted throughout the week. On 05/30/07 (Memorial Day), I will be admitted to the hospital for the "megadose". If all goes well, I will be released the following day.

Tg Graph

The following graph illustrates the drop in Thyroglobulin (Tg) levels between Jun'05 and Mar'07. Prior to Jun'05, the levels were "off the charts" so I excluded them from the graph. Since July 2006, the Tg has dropped from 120 to 18!
