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.
