Radioactive Iodine Treatment

I now have an appointment with the radiation oncologist on July 18th. From there, we will find out when I can do the radioactive iodine treatment. It all depends on my hormone and iodine levels, but I'm hopeful that we can do it the first week of August. That would give me about 2 weeks recovery before school starts and before my wonderful sister and nephew come for a visit. It's not NEARLY as bad as chemo: I take one dose of the stuff, they do a scan, and I get to have a vacation...from my PROBLEMS (that's a throw back to the classic What About Bob, fyi). I get to hole myself up in my Dad's basement for a week. I will literally be "hot" so I can't be around children and should only be close to adults for small amounts of time. But no worries, I'm going to rent LOTS of movies, bring scrapbooking stuff with me (not that I'll DO it), walk on the treadmill (again, not that I'll DO it), read good books and play on the computer. It really WILL be a vacation, aren't you jealous?!
