Post RAI check

So, it's my fifth month post thyroidectomy and my fourth month post RAI or radioactive iodine therapy.  I have been feeling good but not the same as I used to before.  There are a lot of hormonal swings like hot flushes but of course these go hand in hand with medication adjustment, hormonal imbalance, diet and post RAI effects, I think.

I went back to my endocrinologist and he ordered blood tests and ultrasound of the neck.  All blood tests are as expected except FT4 is a bit above normal.

The ultrasound showed small remnant area of thyroid tissue on the right side/postoperative changes?

Still waiting for my endocrinologist's plan.

Hopefully, no need for another RAI.

Claiming complete healing.
