Hi,
I had a whole body scan with I-131 to check for recurrent thyroid cancer on 10/21/11. I weaned my 18 month old daughter before the scan. She was only nursing once a day for a short period of time before weaning. She did not want to wean and is indicating that she would still like to nurse. I know that I haven't completely dried up yet. I'm not sure how much the scan dose was, but I asked the nuclear medicine tech and he said that the I-131 should be out of my system in two weeks. Is this the case? I don't want to hurt my daughter, but if she wants to nurse I have no problem allowing her to do so, either.
Thanks!
