A member asked:
If i had been cured from thyroid cancer..radioiodine body scan negative. do i still need suppressor dose of thyroxine?

Not sure: I understand your question- but if you were treated with radio-ablation or Surgery of your thyroid due to cancer therefore you WILL PROBABLY need thyroxine (Synthroid, etc) for life for acquired Hypothyroidism.
