Radioactive Iodine Treatment, Any experiences to share? Options

[J T]

Our cat Stormy has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, and after reviewing all the options, we have decided to have her treated with radioactive Iodine-131. The surgery just seemed to have too much of a risk of leaving her hypothyroid/hypocalcemic(plus the risk of anesthesia in general for a 13-year old), and treating her with pills or topical every day just didn't seem like a good choice. Has anyone had this done and have any experience to share?

She is on methimazole(Tapazole) topical gel for the couple of weeks until her treatment; she goes in to the clinic for workups on May 8, and will receive her treatment on May 12. Prayers very much appreciated.

We're fortunate that we can afford it now, and hopeful that it will indeed cure her (blood tests don't go over very well with Stormy). She'll be on the Tapazole for another week, then has to be off it for a week before her final workups. Thanks for the prayers!
