A man with hyperthyroidism swallows a radioactive iodine pill to destroy his thyroid gland. He isolates for six to seven days while radiation leaves his body, and the treatment works so well his thyroid becomes invisible on imaging.
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I went into the radiation facility to swallow the radiation pill. I'll never forget that. Quick story there. A guy comes in in a lab coat, opens a box, and says, here, take this. And I'm like, where's my suit? Right? You forgot about my suit. Anyways, take that, swallow that. Had to go sit for 6 or 7 days by myself as all this came out of me, all the radiation. And my thyroid is no longer There, it's actually shrunk so much that they can't even see it anymore.
