So my mom had cancer in her thyroid like a year ago, she is all good and she was doing better and now they need to keep checking her i don't know the deal, but she had to get these two shots yesterday and today, then for the rest of the week.. so she came home and said she felt sick yesterday and 20 times worse today and almost puked in the car and she wants me to look online to find out if "thyrogen 131" makes you sick, she is a nurse and she talked to the doctors and they said no.. but she still wonders, now i am good with the internet but couldn't find anything on it that says it makes you sick or not, so if you know or are good online could you look it up or tell me? thanks alot!
