I need help

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone.

I've been trying to find postings that will tell me what happens

when you have the RAI treatment. I have a friend that is going to go

to the Endo with me and because she doesn't have Graves Disease, she

doesn't know that much about RAI. I've been searching the web to

find info to e-mail her and I've found some but everything is basicly

telling me to have the RAI. I want to find reasons not to. I go

Monday to fight with the Endo because he's trying to force RAI on me,

and she's my support. He's still telling me that it's ok to be

around my son, but me being the mom I am, I DON " T THINK SO!!!!! I'm

a single mom and my friend will be watching my son if I have RAI or

Surgery so she wants to know what's going on. I'm also going for a

second opinion. I'm not that happy with a Dr that tells me my test

results are none of my business. Again, I DON'T THINK SO!!!!! I

need everyone to understand that I live in a small town and the endo

I have is 45 minutes away, the next closest is 4 hours away, so just

finding another Dr. isn't that easy for me. The second opinion that

I'm getting is from a Dr that I've known my intire life. He's going

to do research and such also to give me the best possible advise he

can. So anything anyone can send me or tell me would help with him

also. Thanks in advance!
