Radio Active Iodine Treatment!

After my surgery (November 2012), the biopsy result says I have a Follicular Thyroid Cancer on the right side of my thyroid, so I have to undergo Radio Active Iodine Treatment to kill all the bad cancer cells left in my neck. So I went back to the hospital again and stayed there Thursday afternoon January 10,2013 (alone, no visitors allowed). The doctors and nurses talked to me via phone and in the intercom only. They are not allowed to get near my room because it has radiation. Even the guy who's delivering food doesn't come in. I had this chair outside my room where he puts my food. 


This was my hospital bed. At the upper part of my bed, was where the intercom is located and on my right side was a table where the telephone is located. 



This was the door in my hospital room. Notice the second picture, you will see another wood right next to my door. Is that how perilous radiation is? 



Staying alone in a hospital room for five nights and four days was quite too boring to me. The tv doesn't give me much entertainment anymore. I'm glad I had this Manila view at my window. I stayed at the seventh floor of the hospital building. 



Taking that radio active capsule makes me really sick. I had this terrible pain I felt in my right arm the whole night  when I took that nuclear medicine. Plus an unbearable stomach pain for two days. I got out of the hospital Tuesday afternoon January 15,2012. I'm glad it was over. I will be having my body scan again this September 2013. I hope the medicine works really well and killed all the bad cells because I don't wanna do it again!
