Does anyone here know anything about thyroid radiation pill?
A family member I am living with is suppose to get this pill. What type of precautions should I take. I know I should stay away from them for awhile, but it freaks me out when they say not to share a shower or dishes or food. Its not like aids or a common cold. Radioactive pill that is in them is my concern. What should I do for my safety.
Should I wear vynal disposiable gloves after two week of the person touching things.
Is there any special cleaning surfaces required. Example I clean the toilet after two weeks. Should I use my regular toilet bowl brush & then throw away. When I share the same toilet at them?
***Thanks for the information so far, I am just waiting to see anyone else has a comment for me about the radiation thing. Its not for me, but my mother. I live with her & I am frightend a little
I would like to thank you all for helping me out. I am planning to stay away from this person for over a week if I can. I really don’t know who to vote for. Forgive me If I don’t pick you.

Anyone have serious long term complications from taking the I-131 radiation pill? I have thyroid cancer?
I have thyroid cancer, and after taking the I-131 radiation pill, I could not walk for about 6 months. I am currently able to walk with assistance from a cane. I am in pain 24/7 though, and it has been about 4 years since I have beeen treated. Will this pain ever lighten up?
How did I get this? Not sure, possible genetics or water contamination.. the symptoms were a goiter/lump on neck.
No help from physician, if they knew how to stop the pain they would. I have taken fentenol/morphine patches, muscle relaxers, k-flex, lowertabs..etc. You name it… nothing helps. I go to the doctor, specialists, on a regular basis. I do the scans, and bloodwork, whole nine yards. I have found no help on the internet, with long term symptoms and cures.

Is it normal to have sharp pains in the breast and upper back after breast cancer surgery?
My mom had a small cancerous tumor removed about 3 months ago and she had no discomfort nor pain until two days ago. She has been taking this radiation type of pill which she needs to take for the next five years and she has been on it for the last two weeks. Is this pain normal or should I make an appointment with her doctor.
I have heard this pill gives her joint pain, but her breast and upper back also? thanks

Anyone else know how to deal with radiation burns from cancer treatments?
managed to survive three types of third stage cancer, even outlived my doctor, but now dealing with radiation burns and adhesions..incrediable painful..and causing other issues now. Radiation back when I had my surguries they found out later continue to “microwave” the area the beam was aimed at, forever..feels like I could bake potatoes in my abdomen at this point. Few doctors work with natural healing, would prefer herbal/microbiotic type help, not more pills. the cancer was mainly uterine, ovarian and cervival but spread to the bladder, urethreas…now years later..the words the doctors told me are possibly happening..they had said eventually the adhesions would hurt so bad I would return to the hospital to have them cut…but its the cutting that causes adhesions! That doesnt make sense! And any suggestions for internal radiation burns? I HATE drinking herbal concoctions, but will gladly encapsulate..and…yes if I have to, would drink about anything to stop this pain! Help!
I read the queston about why do I keep going back to the doctors, ect…welp: I dont. That was what I was told years ago would eventually bring me BACK into their world of “healing”. I have taken charge of my health, or would not have made it 23 years..so, to that person:sorry, but you are off base.
as to the rest, thank you..I do indeed follow a microbiotic diet for the most part..yes, I do slip and have foods at times that my body lets me know within minutes was a bad, bad mistake. no white sugar, lots of water, vitamins, ect. and read the labels of the foods I do chose and am an herbalist because of what happened to me, in fact I can proudly say I have helped many other cancer victims, become survivors. My problem is that the adhesions, and radiation burns from 1983 are manifesting despite my best efforts.was thinking of using aloe internally. I also now do the Relay for Life events, which I would not do at first,now I find being with other survivors gives HOPE.
thanks all.
