What to do if you are considering RAI?

If RAI has been recommended to you I first want you to read this by clicking here.

The main question you should be asking yourself is whether or not RAI is worth it with this increased risk in cancer afterward.

And the answer is that it really depends.  In some cases, RAI may not be negotiable. Meaning, no matter what happens you may need to undergo RAI because you have an invasive cancer right now in your body.

Under these circumstances, it may make sense to accept a slightly higher risk of developing cancer later in your life for treating an existing cancer.

But what if you are someone with Graves’ disease? Do you still have to undergo RAI? Maybe but it really depends on the person.

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune diseases are caused by dysfunction of the immune system which may stem from treatable conditions such as:

  • gut imbalances
  • nutrient deficiencies,
  • exposure to certain infections/toxins, etc

Most autoimmune diseases are treatable, at least to some degree, and may not require invasive surgeries or medications to treat. How you respond to treating your autoimmune condition is all based on your specific body. So it is not a one size fits all.

Some things to look into is the therapies like diet changes, medication such as LDN, and other lifestyle changes addressed in the thyroid healing roadmap.
