RAI - Day 11, hour 22

I only had to do two scans this time. After the scans, she told me that sometimes patients are scheduled for routine scans every year or so, so not to be too alarmed if I come back once a year. Then she said the Radiologist will need to review all the scans before they can determine if additional scans need to be taken, or if I get to go home. I was allowed to look at the scans again, just no questions. I saw a single black dot and some clouded areas below the single dot in what I'm guessing was my lung/chest area. All she said was sometimes the normal things don't look normal on the scans. A few minutes later they told me I could go home because they got all the scans they needed. Yay! Thank goodness the part of my treatment is over. I kept on praying and visualizing the whole time that all the thyroid cancer cells were completely gone. I really don't want to go through the low-iodine diet and RAI again, which could be asking for a lot, I know, but nevertheless it is what I've been praying for. Hopefully I hear the RAI/WBS results in the next couple of days. I really don't know how long I need to wait before I hear anything.
