Re: how about in chile--- re allison

But when you look at it from another aspect, even let us say, these

seven patients' eye problems were all caused by I-131, compare to

the whole patient pool, it is still a relatively small number.

I just want to point out the fact that eye problems only develop in

relatively small portion of patients, but people tends to exaggerate

the fact. If you can achieve remission with ATD, that is great, you

will be able to keep your thyroid. But if you develop bad reaction

to ATD, be open-minded, RAI is not as dangerous as people might

think. We have to respect science instead of assumption or

exaggeration.

Do not take it personally. Just discussion.

Wish everyone the best.

Wow, 30% of people had problems after RAI? kind of scary! I think I

would not be able to fall asleep tonight.
