As a quick note, I’ve had a significant amount of pain in the front of my neck for the last three days, which would be days 8-10 following the radioactive iodine treatment for my thyroid cancer. From what I understand, this is from the radiation killing off any remaining thyroid cells and/or possibly cancerous cells. I just wanted to make a note of this for myself, as well as for anyone else who may go through this radiation treatment in the future; I didn’t have any pain immediately, it took until approximately Day 8 after taking the radioactive iodine pill for the pain to start.
