Did you receive radioactive iodine (radioiodine) therapy for thyroid cancer.?
If so, as your oncologist must have told you that when the radioactive iodine is taken into the body in liquid or capsule form, it concentrates in thyroid cells. The radiation can destroy the thyroid gland and any other cells, including the cancer cells, that take up iodine.
Talk with your doctor. Share how you are feeling and any symptoms you are experiencing post-treatment and ask what supplements are recommended.
