			<description><![CDATA[Thank you for taking the time to write to me.  I haven't talk to anyone going through this so your words really helps.  I had so many surgeries during the past four years, this has not hit me quite yet.  Although the <a href="http://dailystrength.org/treatments/Surgery" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://dailystrength.org/treatments/Surgery')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about Surgery">surgery</a> is over, I don't know if I can deal with this.

			<description><![CDATA[I'm having my RAI on the 22nd.  I'm really not happy with the support I'm getting from the hospital.  They never called me directly to let me ask question.  I get my information in bit and piece.  Thanks to you, I got some very useful advice.  I keep calling the hospital and I got nothing.  I feel s...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi, I had my RAI 3 years ago, but I can pass along what I remember.  In my case, they gave me a pill to take, not a liquid.  I distinctly remember the worst part being the "iodine-free diet" for two weeks prior.  I never knew how many of the foods I love have iodine in them, like milk!  No milk for ...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[How true you are about the iodine diet.  Everything seems to have some iodine.  I'm having the Thyrogen next week and I just started the low iodine diet.  It is really harder than I first thought.  Thank you for the information.  I just found out about the cancer just a short while ago and the harde...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[One thing to keep in mind is the regulations for RAI is different by state. That's why some people mention staying in the hospital and others don't.  I live in MA, which doesn't require that you stay in the hospital.  Besides some very mild nausea, I didn't have any side effects from the treatment. ...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I had Thyroid Cancer 10 years ago where they removed my entire thyroid. They sent me to Phoenix and put me in the basement of the hospital. The walls were thick concrete and lead. I had to pass through two sets of sliding doors. Everything inside was coated with thick plastic. I was there 10 minutes...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I finally had my Thyrogen this week and the tracer dose a day later.  The body scan was good news and that the cancer didn't show up anywhere.  However, I did have lots of activity around the area where the thyroid was removed.  I was told this is fairly normal and that I will go through the normal ...]]></description>
