Seven months post RAI

It's been seven months after my radioactive iodine therapy.  Yesterday, i went to my endocrinologist as I have been having palpitations the past two weeks.  There is also discomfort on the operated site.  I feel like scabs are developing inside my throat.

I had an ultrasound as ordered by my surgeon.  On the neck ultrasound, everything is as expected postoperatively and thank God no vascularity.  Though there is a benign lymph node that was seen.

To be sure, my endocrinologist ordered for Thyrogen stimulated RAI scan.  He said that it has smaller dose than what i had during the treatment, maybe about 4 mCi only and one day inpatient stay.

Still waiting for my insurance approval.
