Susan,
I am thinking of opting for surgery instead of RAI. I am worried about the symptoms I may experience with RAI and any long term effects. It comes down to the knife or radiation. The more I think about it, I want the knife to get this thyroid out of my body. My endo. says I am a perfect candidate for RAI. I worry about hair loss, weight gain, and other post RAI symptoms. Did you have any of the symptoms I mention after your surgery? I am 32. Single. No kids yet. And I don’t want to worry about this thyroid in the future. Although I am only borderline hyperthyroid, I am seriously thinking about surgery. What are your thoughts?
Thank you for your reply Susan.
