I then read about that study done where some patients used lemon drops an hour after receiving the treatment and the second group not starting the lemon until 24 hours after and they fared better supposedly than the ones who started immediately. The Thyca website, I noticed, wrote of flaws in the study. My husband asked the nuclear medicine physician when he got his pill and the Dr. said he had read the study and was familiar with it but wouldn't advocate one way or the other about when to start the lemon drops. My husband did it about 20 hours after swallowing the RAI. It hasn't even been 2 weeks yet so I cannot tell you how it is going to be. I think the doctor who delivers the dose to you can tell you all about it though and why it's a good idea to do it and when, etc. Good luck!

So it's always lemon drops (not actual lemons as my Endocrinoligist suggests). I'll see where she stands. Food for thought (without iodine naturally :o) )
