I had the nuclear scan Wednesday and today the second surgeon's nurse called me to tell me that it came back normal... I don't see how this can be. I could see the 2 small nodules being overlooked, but the larger one is 1.5 cm... While I would be happy to avoid surgery, this seems strange... I guess I need to check with the Radiologist who read the scan.

I don't think my PN likes iodine very much. I spent Tuesday afternoon (after the radioactive capsule) in my regular docs' office in terrible pain. Wednesday, I had the scan and spent the afternoon in the Urgent Care doctor's office, and Wednesday night in the ER at the hospital. I have never had any kind of reaction to iodine before, as far as I know. This very clearly took place after the capsule and scan. What is the deal? I thought reactions to iodine were like anaphylaxis.

I was already in a flareup of problems, but this set me on fire all over. Does anyone know anything about this kind of thing?
