Fear of side effects

2018-02-22 09:32:37
I had papillary thyroid cancer in 2016 and now my nuclear physician wants me to stop taking thyroxine to take tertroxin (cytomel) for a few weeks before a whole-body scan. I'm afraid because she wants me on 60mcg of tertroxin from next week, taken in one go instead of split throughout the day. Should I be concerned?
