    I'm on my RAI isolation now because of the thyroid cancer, after surgery and while watching your video i felt your feelings, Inshallah god will keep us healthy and safe, and cancer won't return to us anymore in any form🤲🏻 i feel less lonely and more hopeful, after watching another person who has gone through all these, just like me

      hi...I had my radioactive iodine tx 5 days ago. I received 150. I'm on my last day of isolation. they actually sent me home to isolate as long as I had my own personal bathroom. I only had dry mouth as a side effect.

    Hi Marcel. I just came across this video of yours - I was unaware of your situation the last time I saw you in November!! I went through the same journey in 2016 and it was interesting to see your documentation thereof and the memories of that experience came flooding back. Must say it was definitely not the most pleasant of times but I’m pleased to say apart from a few scares in between I remain a survivor. I send you many blessings and wish the same for you ❤

    Thanks for making this vlog, man. I'm in the process of deciding whether to accept RAI this year or delay it further. I have recurring thyrotoxicosis, very well managed by medication, and two young children, one who is severely disabled, so choosing to become radioactive and having to isolate from them isn't easy. But it's amazing to see someone's experience of the RAI and how it affects. All aspects in choosing my course of action.

    • @thefakemarcel
      @thefakemarcel  3 місяці тому

    Hi Marcel, I have to ask, how are you feeling at the moment?
    I have recently been diagnosed and I’m meeting my surgeon tomorrow to get my CT results and make a plan of attack.
    I just wanted to thank you for sharing your story as it has really settled some nerves in me. I understand it’s a rocky road but know, the sharing of your story has helped it feel a little less rocky.
    I appreciate you,
    Thanks

    • @thefakemarcel
      @thefakemarcel  5 місяців тому +1

      Nothing to be scared of, it's just a little boring, so take some things with to read / do. The scans can take anything from 10 minutes to 40 minutes every few months. All the best

    Are you literally required to lock yourself in an isolated area? Are you allowed to be in one room while the other housemates pass common areas just so long you stay 6 feet apart? Other than bathrooms can you share common areas like laundry room?

    • @thefakemarcel
      @thefakemarcel  5 місяців тому

      It is recommended to isolate in a decontaminated space because radioactivity can be transferred through touch, so you could isolate in your room, if you're just careful of everything you touch. All the best on your treatment.

      Hey Veerpal. I did take another dose after this, but it was a much smaller dose without isolation. I am now going for another Thyrogen injection almost a year after this treatment for a checkup. Goodluck over there.
