Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 05. 2017
- Thyroid Cancer is more prevalent than ever affecting more than 60,000 people last year and the numbers continue to grow. Despite recent advances in cancer treatments, the prevalence of Thyroid cancer continues to grow year after year. Radioactive Iodine has long been used as a therapy as well as a diagnostic tool for Thyroid disease. Adding Radioactive Iodine therapy to your treatment of Thyroid Cancer can improve your post surgery outcomes, typically without significant side effects. We'll be talking to experts in nuclear medicine and learn more about what is being referred to as the “magic bullet” of treatment options.

I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at only 24, had 2 operations and radioiodine therapy, one year down the line I’m now 25 and on the road to recovery :)
How are you now? Are you symptom free? Is the surgery a good option?
I'm 34 and was just diagnosed I have to have the second surgery to remove my right lobe and then can start treatments
I was given massive doses of x - ray (radiation treatment) as a baby. It was the standard treatment for babies in the 50's with enlarged Thymus glands (chokes the baby). I am awaiting the test results and fear the worst as most all later get Thyroid cancer. I live alone now and can't imagine going through anything without care.... sorry for all have this.
Thank you for sharing and educationg us. I'm scheduled for iodine therapies next week and my fears of having another child afterwards is resolved after watching the lady's testimoniy.

Please turn to Jesus He loves you very much, i was ill for many years but the doctors couldn't really help me, i don't blame them, there was only so much that they could of done for me, Then Jesus gave me a miracle and healed me, He is the God of miracles, God has done amazing things in my life and in the life's of my family, He can do the same for you and yours, When you need Him call on Him, He is the God of comfort and will there for you when you call on Him, The bible tells us in Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, God saved someone i love from an illness leading to death, There is nothing impossible to God, It's as simple as asking Jesus into your heart and life to be your personal Lord and Saviour, confess your sins to Jesus, and Jesus will for give you, If you truly seek Him, Jesus will answer you, i know this because He answered me when i called out to Him
I recently found out I have thyroid cancer and it has spread to my lymph vessels. I still can’t wrap my head around this mess at only 31!
tam RY thank you so much for the positive response. I currently live in Michigan so I will be seeing the endo Doc my ent doc referred me to after my surgery. I currently take 50 mcg of Cytomel, originally they had me 75 mcg but that was to much! I had horrible side effects but now I’m better! I also take calcium supplements due to them removing my thyroid and taking out one of the parathyroids. I pray God keeps us and walks with us both! ❤️
ashlee pulliam you are not alone. Very brave to reach out here. Call a friend or family member and get them to go with you to talk with your dr. Tell him/her how you feel. Tell them the cancer thought is difficult. People do care for YOU. Post our updates too.
Lynn Dear thank you so much for the kind words. I actually go for the radioactive iodine treatment on the 8th. They have taken me off my cytomel so my energy levels are dropping excessively.
Hi I live in Dubai. I had thyroid gland surgery on 4th feb18. Now doctor asked me to for RAI. Is this RAI required after my gland surgery. Please help me. Thanks.
RAVINDRA NAYAK hi, I had RAI.... they usually do a scan after surgery to see if there is leftover thyroid tissue left behind then they move forward with the RAI. I hope all is well.
I had a TT 5/1 5/9 Result PTC Started LID 5/30 RAI Treatment 6/29.....I have heart trouble, st 2 kidney disease, pancreatitis, 2 autoimmune diseases, or glaucoma left eye. Sjogrens is one of the autoimmune diseases. I'm scared of what the radiation will do because of my illnesses. Does it bother saliva glands, kidneys etc?
I was diagnosed with follicular thyroid cancer last week. They removed a mass that came back positive with cancer. I have to go back for more surgery in June and then take radioactive iodine. What should I expect after this treatment I wonder? Will I feel sick?
Thanks, but there is a problem with the Dr's back....kyphosis?😕

Hello, My mom went through complete thyroidectomy like a month ago. She had papillary carcinoma and the doctor suggested for further radio iodine scan . Can someone tell me about radio iodine scan?? How bad it is and what are the side effects and long term effects of it????
Radioactive Iodine has a possibility of causing Blood Cancers. Four years after receiving radioactive iodine, I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. The treatment isn’t so bad, I remember being nauseous and having to abstain from salt. Including quarantine for about a week or so. Knowing what I know now, I wouldn’t have taken radioactive iodine. Hope this helps, and hope your mom’s health continues to improve.
My brother also suffer from papillary carcinoma, his treatment starts now

Thank you Lokesh
@@prajnyajyotidutta8137 welcome mam
how is she now do u think thyroid cancer is due to moble radiation
I believe so
I had thyroid cancer and doctors scared me that I need urgent treatment. This was their money making trick.
I feel cheated because I did not have any lump and was perfectly enjoying life.
Please save urself from doctors cruelty. U might realise how devil they are once they are done with their business.
Thyroid is an endocrine gland. It’s very important for whole body function. Tablet can’t do what ur gland can do. Also ur whole body gets suffered with surgery side effects.
I am facing- constipated, hearing loss, hot flashes, hair loss, heart palpitations while playing badminton, Depression, body becomes incapable of maintaining natural body temperature due to which u feel very cold and very hot 🥵
Thyroid cancer is curable easily if it’s papillary cancer or 2 other types. With vegan diet , vegetables juices, nuts seeds ,feeling stronger , meditating on every cell in ur body that it is happy etc
Some doctors are making people get thyroid function test if they have lump in their neck. Lumps means u do vegan diet, and not surgery unless the lump is visible or u r facing any other issue.
Thyroid cancer need not need any surgery. Check CZcams many people have cured cancer just with diet.
You're right until it's not spreading to the lymph nodes after that only who knows what happens
I'm 22. In October 2021 I tested FT4 , TSH and various test and doctor told me I have Hyperthyroidism and it was at 7 . I am taking Carbizol and Indever from October continuously. But every month I go for follow up with these blood tests. And it's sometimes 0 , sometimes 2 and sometimes 4 . Doctor told me he will give me RAI that two drops . And other doctor told me maybe it can turn to Hypo later in my future . I went for the other doctor with my tests and prescriptions for cross checking that's it. And I want to know that Will RAI cause any fertility issues in my future ? I'm not married .I'm an unmarried girl. I'm 5 feet and maybe 56 kg wieght . Mam I'm very worried about this treatment . Can you assure is it safe and it will not be harmful even having kids in future ?
I’m only 10 years old and my family thinks I have what do I do could I die what about my friends my mom my dad my sister my life just what do I do
Ok kiddo, listen up. First of all, if you haven't been diagnosed yet, do not panic. Go see your physician, and do the test, but no need to stress beforehand. Your thyorid is very sensitive to the stress levels your are subject to, so panicking about it is not the thing to do :). Then, if you do have this cancer, then you have the best treated cancer the human species endures, so again, relax. It's not pleasant, but it's okay, you can get through this.
Amina Osmanbegovic thanks
Amina Osmanbegovic Amina I got my blood work and I dont have thyroid cancer I’m normal thank you so so much
Where can we buy this?
What were you looking to buy? Bind-it/I131safety, a radioactive cleaner for #RAI?
I just had my surgery last twoa weeks ago and then the endocrinologist ask me to undergo the rai..I don't know if I will do it or not 😭 I'm just so afraid of the side effects 😭 im afraid to have another acute leukemia...
Natural herbal medicine and body cleanser really worked for me in less than 3 weeks got cured from hashimato disease with Dr Isibor treatment..
#drisibor
Do not take this treatment. 4 years later, I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.
@@leeadams1557 how many times did you do the rai therapy? I had the thyroidectomy a few months ago and I am scheduled to do the radioactive iodine treatment at the end of this month. The doc administering this told me I’m getting a high dose due to the high amount of cancer they found in my pathology after my surgery. I don’t know what my other options are to kill off the remaining cancer cells in my neck I don’t want to have to go through the surgery again that was hell enough.
@@salonofre7857 I had one RAI Treatment. Three large pills. I did not have extensive residual cancer cells, as they believed they removed most of it during surgery.
Given that you have a lot of residual cells, taking RAI may be your best option. But knowing that RAI Treatment can cause blood cancer, you’re better off knowing than being surprised like I was.
There are people who have done this treatment and later got multiple myeloma. Do your research AND realize that we have not gone to the bottom of the ocean. How well do we know how one cancer "treatment" will not cause another? "Low" to cause another cancer? "Most people tolerate it?" Tolerate? Her script is not very good, and he does not seem very trustworthy. Who funded this episode? Would have liked to have seen someone on the other side talking about the downside to give your viewers more information to make an informed decision.
For myself i have no other choice but RAI treatment
Amen sir.
Sometimes there's no choice
I Am Beza From Ethiopia I Have Hyperthyroidism now I am Taking PTU But Now My Doc Recommend For Radioactive iodine RX Am Afriad Is Any Chance Of Developing Cancer
Yes. Four years after receiving radioactive iodine following a full thyroidectomy, I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. They never told me it could cause cancer.

@@leeadams1557 What is the dose that you were given, sir?
@@thuyho5974 - it’s long enough ago now that I do not remember. Only that they pulled out (3) lead containers with a pill within each. I took each large pill one after another. Was told to isolate in a room for 2 weeks.
I have also a thyroid. But base on my laboratory results they called non toxic thyroid.
Erna Pintor Same case here.
You need to get your T3 checked along with the TSH and T4 its the only way they can tell if you have a problem. Dont let them fool you into pharma.
I have hyperthyroidism when i was 20yrs. Old. And i undergo radioactive iodine bec. the medicine that i took was reacted because i ate seafoods.

My mom has this and I’m 10 please help
What kind?
Don't worry too much about it! Fortunately, papillary thyroid cancer is the most common and one of the least aggressive cancers. And I am assuming that is the kind your mom has. She will just have to go through surgery, which is surprisingly not that bad, I was at home a few hours later after my first thyroid surgery. Then, a few weeks or months later, she might need the radioactive iodine treatment. This is simply taking a pill and just stay isolated for a few days to be sure that you and your family are not exposed to radiation. After that, she will be OK! I know the word "cancer" is scary, but fortunately thyroid cancer is really easy to treat and extremely likely to survive.

Don't worry i hope you be good and recover fast
Always eat iodine salt, because the planet is a microwave/cooking us.
Iodized salt is salt with Iodide which is an essential nutrient and not iodine. The rest of your comment makes zero sense either.
Aren't patient with hyperthyroidism avoid things that are high in iodine, cuz I have hyperthyroidism, and wherever I eat fish or milk (things high in iodine), I tend to shake a lot.
@@imissedthejoke1276
TL;DR: Salt plays a huge role in maintaining blood pressure. Thyroid hormone directly affects kidney function. Hyperthyroidism is too much thyroid hormone. Too much salt + hyperthyroidism = kidneys not being able to filter blood bc there’s not enough recleaning toxin and blood is too thick due to water retention caused by salt.
Before anyone reads this, pls know I am not a doctor nor am I trying to sound like or claim to be one. However, I am a third year nursing student who has taken about 7 A&P related classes so I would kinda hope I know a little bit about what I’m taking about. Feel free to correct me if I’m completely wrong though. Also, whenever I say ‘salt’ I mean iodized salt.
I know this is super late but the reason why people with hyperthyroidism are suggested to avoid salt is bc thyroid hormone (TH) has a direct correlation with the kidneys. TH affects both renal (kidney) morphology and function. Too much TH (the product of hyperthyroidism) can result in the kidneys having a reduced rate of recleaning toxins i.e. the chemical that helps filter your blood. Not enough recleaning toxins means your blood can become thick leading to blood pressure issues.
Now I know your asking: what the hell does this have to do with salt? Well, salt plays such a big role with the homeostasis of water in the body. Too much salt equals more water retained in the blood. So, for a patient with hyperthyroidism, not only are their kidneys suffering with deficient levels of recleaning toxins but if too much salt is in their diet, they can also be dealing with high blood pressure due to water retention. Your kidneys are basically put into overdrive and it could seriously damage them if it happens over a long period of time.
@@imissedthejoke1276 Yes!
radio active iodine is in a nuclear bomb
And for those that take Radioactive Iodine, it can cause Leukemia. After receiving this treatment, four years later, I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.
Ask q lng magkno mag pa radioactive iodine
UST 25k gastos ko 2 days isolated
Alleinna Agaton After RAI kumusta po pakiramdam niyo? Ang iba kasi 5 days naka isolate daw..mabuti 2days ka lang isolated.
20mci dose q. After 3 months pa eepekto ung treatment
Alleinna Agaton May side effect ka ba bang naramdam? Sa 25k na binayaran mo may health insurance ka bang ginamit? Pasensiya ka na sa mga tanong ko kasi this month balak kong ipatunaw tong thyroid ko sa UST. Nahihirapan na kasi ako.
Salamat po sa reply.
Wlang bawas sa philhealth ko sa 25k pero may social service sila nagbibigay ng discount pag ipprocess mo na RAI treatment mo, punta ka sa opd ng UST kaso lng wla na kc ung doctor ko doon refer sna kta
