Hi Diane
I have had graves disease for 5 years to.. I have had 2 treatments of RAI
Why did you have RAI then surgery?
I thought once the RAI destroyes the thyroid thats it??
Can your thyroid come back alive??

Hello I am Judy I have been treated in nuclear medicine with the procedure I think is called RAI. Thats the pill well i was treated 2 times the first time i was told it didn’t work so i went back and did it again (not sure if anyone had this done but the way they hand you the pill to take they act like its a bomb?? holding it away from them telling you to dispose of everything) I thought wow this must be nuclear . Anyway the second time I had a THROID STORM. I was in criticial care for 2 weeks. My heart rate was at 189.. I am lucky to be alive..
If I were you please choose surgery…
I could go on and on about mu journey
