Thank you Howard Shipiro and Richard Hougland for the information about Propidium Iodide. As I said in my post, the nuclear medicine doctor knew nothing at all about PI, he was just curious if it could have been a cause of my thyroid cancer because of the iodine component. However, that appears to not be the case, if the "propidium" part and the "iodide" part separate. Just iodine alone obviously isn't going to hurt anyone's thyroid! Thank you again for this information. Thanks to all of you who just wrote a note of concern, what a caring group this is! Good news to report, I just went through a series of tests (radioactive iodine whole body scan, thyroglobulin blood tests, and neck ultrasound), and they all came back negative, so no more cancer! Yes!! Of course I have to go through these tests all over again next year, but at least for now I don't have to worry.
