Researchers today have decreed that low level radiation doses are damaging to the heart! The guys on the other side say that because there is no data to back this up no-one should worry about it.
Oh, well that's all right then!
Seriously though, it's not just us poor old patients who have this to worry about but the people who work in the nuclear medicine areas where LLR is given out. I suppose time will eventually tell of course, in the meantime I'm still doing my own research and finding out for myself about the 'dangers' of these drugs which the medical profession would rather you did not know.
Having to say that the LLR I received for my thyroid hs started to get rid of the swollen and very dry throat I had, it's only been just over a month so still too early to tell. Just hoping now that I haven't swapped one problem for another! Hmm, lets see if it's been worth it *balances heart damage in one hand, and thyroid treatment in the other* - nope, can't tell yet.
