I am radioactive today. I went in for a thyroid uptake and scan, you swallow a radioactive iodine pill. Six hours later, they scan your thyroid for the iodine and then x-rayed you for 10 minutes to see where the iodine is in your thryoid and you do it all over again 24 hours later. The blood test showed the T4 and T3 levels where normal but the TSH level was slightly elavated, so I guess that means mild hypothryoidism. So on July 2, I have another doctor appointment to go over treatment.
