Diagnosed w/thyroid cancer in may, got surgery in july and rai treatment in aug 15th. since then i'm nauseated all the time and no appetite. normal?

No, it is NOT: Normal. Make sure your thyroid levels are normal, and then investigate other potential causes for your symptoms.

Not Normal: You should have your calcium and thyroid hormone levels checked. If these are normal you should follow up with your surgeon or endocrinologist.
