What Can Be The Effects Of Smoking Weed On Radioactive Iodine Treatment?
Hi, I was diagnosed with papillary carcinoma in September 2014. I had a total Thyroidectomy and bilateral neck dossection in November 2014. I m currently on the low iodine diet to prepare for radiation treatment in two weeks. I m constantly in pain, my shoulder is frozen and my muscles in my back are pinched. I smoke weed to decrease the amount of pain I feel. Will smoking weed affect my radioactive iodine treatment?!

HI
Well come to HCM
If this is malignant condition you have then this is not good idea to smoke such drug (Weed) this is not just good with the radiation therapy and not even good for health, so away from this, then everything would be alright try to bear the pain, or else use analgesic medicines, hope this information helps, take care.
